Blue Koi in MD?
 

OK, months ago I scoffed at you loonies spending good money on fish, how
silly of you. I bought MY koi at Petschmart for like $2.99 each. I got two
white with orange stripes, and two that are pale yellow.

A few weeks ago one of the pale yellow ones came up to say hello and
emmeril styleBAM/emmeril style he was AMAZING looking. Very beautiful
yellow.

I WANT MORE!!!

I WANT A BLUE ONE!!!

Where can I go that is within driving distance of Baltimore to see some Koi
for sale? Oh and I am still on the cheap. I am unemployed as of Monday.

Last Monday or coming up? Either way, too bad unless you're happy about
it, in which case, yippie!

(never let it be said that I wasn't ready to fall on either side of
the fence.)

Sorry BV, you can always dig another hole.

I saw some at the show. After the posting from Bob, I went to every vendor
and asked if they had blue koi. Saw some beauties. None looked the same,
from blue markings to blue sides. I (naive) thought I was going to see this
pure blue fish. I did not buy (pricey). Have you tried to call Lilypons,
they are in Buckeystown (Frederick) MD. I bought some butterfly from them
as I was passing through, they are all three fine. I two I purchased at the
show were sick and died. Joann

Lilypons has their annual Koi & Wine festival the weekend of Aug 30-31.
You will probably have a better chance of finding something unique, as
they should be well stocked for the festival.
I'd advice you to get there early on Sat for the best selection.

Don't forget to dress for sweat.
Not much of a breeze down in the valley where Lilypons is located, & man
o man can it get hot out there in the sun.

The Lotus & Lilly growing\display ponds should be spectacular right now,
with all the heat & sun we have been suffering lately. Well worth a good
sweat, IMO, even if you don't really need any more fish.
