In 2011 our Koi Pond was built. Over that year we would travel over to the Japanese Koi farms and buy a few fish at a time. Back then we paid $25 per fish. When all was said and done, we had 30 Koi about 5 inches long. As the years went by, we watched the fish grow to at least 2 feet as they are now 12 years old. We added our own pond filter system and a pond cover to keep the hawks, herons and owls at bay. We landscaped around the pond.

Our pond has been a joy and we have spent many hours on the patio just watching the fish. We have named many of them. But all good things must come to an end. When the pond was first built we had just turned 70. Today we are in our 80’s and maintaining the pond gets more and more difficult. Sadly, it is time to say goodbye.

We have decided to sell the fish and our two pond lily plants. If you are interested in getting a Koi fish or two or would like to buy the pond lilies (2 plants) please email at clarkjv@aol.com or text to 602-320-3422 for further information and to schedule a time to come by. At the end of June, I will put the fish and plants on sites like Craig’s List to sell locally but I wanted to give you, my readers, first dibs on the fish. Even a small pond will support one or two fish.
