Living in central VA, near Richmond, suggestions for sources to obtain koi? There's a breeder in Chester VA, Koi Kouple, Dave (I forget his last name, bad...) we visited once several years ago, way, way before the pond was as much of a reality as I hope it is this year. We also visited Hanover Koi up in PA a few years back. And there there was Ray Abell, we never met him or went to his place. Funny thing is though, this was several years ago now, my wife treated his dog in her vet hospital and some time after that, when I was on a koi pond kick, she recalled that she had this client with koi ponds right near by, and it wasn't until we looked into him further that we realize what a reputation he had. He passed away just a short while after that. I always wondered what happened to all his koi and his setup there.
Anyway, any other recommendations for koi sources in the area or region?
Thank you
