Hi All,

I only joined last night but am loving this forum,before i start my major reconstruction to my pond i thought i would show my fish.

I only wanted small fish but inherited the big lad know as Sir Alex!


I think he is a geniune Koi i stand to be corrected tho! i also have smaller ghost Koi


I never thought it would be so difficult to get a picture usually when i crouch down they mooch over and wait still for feeding time but today!!

Thanks for looking,any ideas of the strain of Koi would be great
Thanks
Mark

'Sir Alex' is looking just fine not sure on variety / type though, someone will though i'm sure

Not too sure as they were shy to the camera.

But possibilbly ' Sir Alex' is a MATSUBA.
