(retail) lol now the c**ts saying its no good for koi ... nothings ever strait forward isit koi are just a normal carp with a fancy coat on, carp live in filthy water and tolerate lower level,s of oxygen than most freshwater fish,s, so when a spotty teenager in a garden centre tells you you need the all singing super deluxe only available from me koi pump it's just a sales pitch the only reason koi keepers like there ponds crystal clear is so they can see the fish, the fish would be happier with a bit of colour in the water if they could speak, so don't panic to much 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
