Koi Carp

[Mark 4]

In my pond I have loads of goldfish and two Koi Carp. ONe is silvery white all over and the other is silvery white and black 50:50. Both are around 2 feet long.

Anyone have any idea if they may be worth anything ?

£4 down the chippy I would expect :D

I've been told that they don't make very good eating, otherwise they would have been on the barbie by now.

There's a place here that sells them Mark: http://www.gatwickkoi.com/koi-for-sale.htm

May help with pricing ?

For a decent sized Koi you can pay between £150 to £400 each...

My Flowerhorn is worth £90 now and he is still very young...

Have a look up the cost of an Arrowana. In excess of £5000 yep 5k

[AlanDITD]

Yeah they aint cheap my mates got alot of them and he paid in the hundreds for each one!

[Mark 4]

Well I paid 3 quid each for mine when thay wer ickle. Hoping to turn a profit if possible. Gonna speak to the people that Pete linked to as they are quite close to me.
