Hi,

I'm also a total newbie, may I know what kind of koi does one get for $25-$75? I'm thinking of starting out with small ones. Should I check out Nippon or Marugen?

Thanks so much in advance!

I was a newbie before and once you get interested in koi you will go for $250-$750 then when you get crazy in koi you will go for $2500-$7500 which is normal.
Don't care of the prices as long as you like the fish $50.00 also worth it.

That's so funny but so very true Alan

Went to Summer Koi earlier this afternoon, they do have very beautiful selection with $80 being the cheapest (small 4-6"). But at that size, I won't be able to see them visibly once in pond. Alan, when you first started, did you start with the small ones or immediately got some big ones?

I'm also newbie in keeping koi.
But recently saw some beautiful koi less than $10.
I guess local breed has improved a lot and now also producing high quality koi.
Brought a few home and keeping them in tank.
Quite enjoying to see them swimming in the tank.

Don't go to LFS. I pick from farm instead.
