Finding a new home for koi

[mshaffer]

Hi, I have 12 koi that I've been taking care of for 17 years now. I really need to find them a new home for them. I'd be fine with giving them away to a good home. I'm in Northern Virginia. Does anyone have any tips on how to find a new owner?

I'm not in the US so I can't take them but I suggest you advertise them as KVH free since they have been isolated and healthy for so long.

I would not give them away if you want good homes for them. Charge a modest of say $10 each but the new owner has to take them all. Only to weed out the unscrupulous.

Best of luck. It must be heart breaking.

Perhaps contact your local park department to see if there are park ponds that are suitable to have koi rehomed

See if maybe there is a koi club somewhere in your area. Contact them.
