Subject: [GSAS-Member] Does anyone have a koi pond?

I really need to find someone with a koi pond. I guess I should check the
koi club first, but maybe there are some overlapping members. I have a Shiro
Utsiri that I imported from Hiroshima, but he is just too big for his tank.
Water-quality he is fine, as it's filtered 300 gallons per hour, but it's
just way to cramped for the tank size. Way to big and aggressive now (the
entire floor is dug up at least once daily, it's in their instincts to dig,
no matter how fat their belly is). I have really good food to last a while,
and he/she needs some friends.

I haven't decided if I will build an outdoor pond in the spring yet, so
ideally one of you have a pond, or know a good non-profit place like a
public park I could donate my baby too, and still be able to see him once
and a while. He's coming from a 100% UV filtered environment kept at 76
degrees, so would need to be acclimated over a couple weeks on my side if
you have an outdoor setup. I could sell him later, or possible take him back
if I decided to go with an  outdoor setup. Problem is my house was built in
1901, and I have no way of knowing if I would hit any pipes in the backyard.
It's sad but I really can't take care of him anymore.
