They have fry that start at $50.00 if memory serves, and they have a large
koi auction every spring where you can get them (and shubunkins prob for
cheap). Good koi are not cheap. I have some pics of the huge amount of Koi
they bring back from Japan in the spring the throughout the season on my

It's well worth a stop, and I have no affiliation w/ the place, other than
that is where 'koi' people go. I'm actually switching to exotic killifish
myself. Koi are growing too fast for me and literally eat my plants like
potato chips.
