Here is a video of some small koi I recently harvested from a pond. Average 4 inches in length.

Nice whack of Koi there JD, you grow them to sell to the aquarium industry?

Hey, you wanna try eating some and tell me how they taste... :D

Thanks EB. These are used as forage to feed largemouth bass. I only produce about a thousand pounds a year of the small koi, not really enough to wholesale. Never was very interested in selling :fish: one at a time. Most mass market aquarium koi are grown in Arkansas.

I understand carp (koi) make good salmon croquettes. Never tried any myself. I'd be willing to try some koi for you. :think: What's it worth?

More meat on these... (one catfish in there too).

Excellent, now there's some koi... :cheers: We really do need to find a system at the shop to put some into.

"Only" half a ton a year? :notworthy:

That would be cool. To me they look best in a dark colored tank.
