Hi, I am a bit confused, are Koi and Goldfish the same thing?

## No they are not the same thing. Koi get much larger than GF, too large
to keep in aquariums. Some GF also get large with age - if well care for. I
had one almost a foot long.

I
understand that they are both carp, but could I breed a goldfish with a
koi? Thanx.

## Yes. I have some kind of hybrid butterfly I was told is a cross. It
reached a certain size and now the koi are outgrowing it.

GF for your pond can range in price from 10¢ feeders to the sky's the limit.
Small young Koi can be found in chain Pet Shops such as Petsmart for $2.99
and up. One day I came across 1" baby koi there for under a buck each.
