livingart Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 chinese pond carp that name could fit any goldfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink_fish Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 True, but I'm guessing if they were goldfish I would have been much easier for the person to just have put 'goldfish'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 If he is selling something labelled KOI, it needs to be reported. he will then be told the legalities and what have you. No one wins if someone sells a koi as a goldfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 unless the ad has been edited i can't see koi mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 A chinese carp is an unusual and technically incorrect term for a goldfish. Better to be safe than sorry yes? If he is selling goldfish, no harm done. http://www.google.com/search?q=chinese+ ... =firefox-a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshlikesfish Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 do we get albino goldfish? never seen one myself.. Did a quick google search. Albino koi seems a bit more common... They're probably just thinking white=albino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 If anyone does happen to have a pond full of koi left over from when they were legal and are now feeling a bit embarrassed about, I understand that DOC will help you eradicate them and pay for it. Of course try to sell/spread them and they will come down on you like a ton of bricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Highly illegal. Can't do any thing with it really. One of the worst pest fish species out waterways have been exposed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
