I am always intrigued by the koi market participants and was prompted to write these few words following a request for information from a pond keeper who had a record "crop" of koi and was looking for possible buyers She could not seem to find anyone.
Koi are wonderful fish that genuinely make real pets. They quickly learn to feed from your hand and recognize you immediately you get close to the pond.
For 99.999% of pond keepers that's all the koi will ever be ... wonderful pets. Pets also cost money and do not make money for their owners.
Dealers are not shy to encourage the view that money can be made from koi keeping. These self same dealers are happy to sell you fish at high prices but never seem to want to buy fish back from you even at low prices. Have you even come across this phenomenon?
Build your pond to enjoy the hobby ... forget making money.
