Default KOI USA show this week!

I awoke this morning to find my brand new 6in butterfly floating, dead. I
tried to care for him since he was brought home Saturday and quarantined.
Does anyone have a listing of the vendors w/ addresses. I would like to try
to get a refund or exchange a dead fish for a living creature.

I attended Friday evening and Saturday. It was my first time and loved it.

I
would have never imagined a koi could grow sooo...... big. There were koi

3
and 4 ft long. I met RichToyBox, his lovely wife and sister. Thanks Rich
for showing me some of the equipment you use.

I did purchase (and I think I made a great buy) my new Sequence 1000 /
5800seq23 pump and a primer pot for $315 from AZponds.com. His web site

list
this pump at a sale price of $319 w/o the primer pot and regular price is
about $350. So I am a happy ponder.

I also picked up two butterfly 5 - 6 in, trying to help them through
quarantine, it didn't look good for a while there. They are starting to

perk
up some.

I already knew my pond was too small and not enough filtration, now I

really
know it is too small. It has encouraged me to dig and dig and dig some

more.

Hi gang:
Anyone else from this NG attending the Koi USA show sponsored by the

MAKC
in
Chantilly, Virginia this weekend (besides RTB)?
Several of us will be getting together. It will be a nice chance to meet
some contributors to rec.ponds!
We can meet Friday night/other times as convenient...
I expect to bring 7 from our club here in WNY.
As I understand it, this will be one of their larger shows (last count

was
56 or so show tanks (the 6 ft diameter ones).
Happy ponding,
Greg
