All the more reason why the auction makes us so fortunate. Did you see the price QTOFFER paid for his at the auction? Grrrrr....[acronym:9e43b414df="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:9e43b414df]

Jchillin, I've seen quite a few koi angels at past GCAS auctions - you're sure to score some. And as I said, if my pair spawn, you're first on the list of adoptive parents!

Here are some pictures of these beauties.

In the third pic, is it the fish's light coloration, or are the gills a bit red? Tank has been cycled for months and water parameters are excellent. I just did a 30% water change tonight and used a healthy dose of dechlor. Possible parasite?

I think I'm just gonna bury my head in the sand...[acronym:6fe74be85a="Laughing out loud"]LOL[/acronym:6fe74be85a]

They are gorgeous...

Are the gills the same color on both sides...may be due to labored breathing...did hang out in a plastic bag for quite some time.

Most do...for instance, my club has a mini-auction (10-35 items) at every meeting (10/year) as well as two giant auctions (500-550 lots) twice yearly.
