I think i will donate them to the local fish club to sell at the auction this saturday

Is this a big tank or do you have a pond of some sort inside?  I have wanted an indoor pond, surrounded with rocks and live plants for about 40 years.  Haven't done it yet though. But I have seen fabulous pics of them in books and magazines.

Barb, it is just a 100 gal. horse trough. With 7 large koi it's to small.
Lots of water changes all winter. Thats why i wait until the last min. to bring them in and get them out as soon as possible.
