BikBok Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 well I had to point out to a seller once that her "KOI KITES and BANNERS " were not fish and they shouldn't be in the pets section. She said "these are fish ,I hope you find what you're looking for" lol.. had no idea that people want LIVE fish not paper ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 If anyone has (or knows anyone that has) koi, it is quite safe to contact your local DOC office and ask for help removing them. I understand that they will fund and organise the removal. They are not interested in prosecuting people that now want them removed. They just want to remove them. If this trader was trying to sell real koi, yes they would be prosecuted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 i dont believe these are long finned koi. but ill eat my hat i was not aware that long finned koi was available. not sure if they are same species as normal koi? Please don't eat your hat. Let the giant goldfish do it =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
