Thursday the 20th Keeping fish for the winter

Hi all. As you know by now, Sue and myself have split up. The damage is irreversible, but we are trying to keep the shop going together, but im not too sure if it will long term. So we are drastically going to reduce koi stocks, so we can may be work around it. So from Saturday 10 there will be 1/3 to 50 % of all koi in the UK. If we can, we will show you around the Forge as well so you will have 100s if not 1000s of koi to see. Everything is now out of quarantine. If you want to see the Momotaro pond, the water is clearing, but call first to double check before travelling.

As most of you know we now have two facilitys and are looking for a third ,.This means it is possible to look after purchased koi over the winter . We charge £50 -£100 depending on value and size of the fish untill spring . Pleae remember that all ponds are heated and fed betwen 4 and 9 times a day with saki growth or probites .so i can virtually gaurantee by the time you pick the koi up it will be much bigger .Last year people buying the Maruhiro ochiba and chagoi grow from 28-33cm to 45-50 by the time they were picked up , so its actually not a bad deal at all ! ( and if im honest its good fun watching then grow .) . So feel free to buy a fish knowing there is no pressure to pick the koi up, also please feel free to drop me an email if there is somthing you are looking for . Sorry about the blog not being done yet , but i was so tired by the time i had got all the fish up to date i was seeing two laptops so i went to bed . At the moment with emails , blog and loading the fish up with videos its about 4/5 hours a night extra work when i get in , tonight our first party begain there journey home so ill have time to catch up , untill then its breakfast , coffee and out for another day in Niigata ...........................somthing to wet your appitite ??? oh go on then , nisai kohaku stunning , and if the picture diddnt do it , this might https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giAEk7S_hUI
