ive got 2 very large koi carp, think there just common carp i saved them from a large pond, the blokes doing the building are just going to fill the pond with them in it theres about 50 gold fish and smaller carp left but no garden centre are intrested,, ive filled my pond with most of them but no room left

send me over a pic il tell you. genera;lly the answer is sod all. its only very specific colour varities that worth anything these days. what sorta size we talking?

common carp are different to koi carps,koi's are a japanese imported fish, a 2ft koi (grade A) will go for a couple of hundred from a supplier,

Correct however a non descript english bred koi of no lineage or set pattern at that size on the private market more like £50.

i would send a pic but photo bucket seems to have changed and its pissing me about ,its on my facebook" scott smith"

So they are just going to fill a pond in with fish still in it? I'd report them to the RSPCA, that's just wrong :censored:

not sure they are intrested to be honest the size of the pond would take along time to drain and try to catch every fish ,,,alot to do with money and time at the end of the day

Try the EA they drain lakes and remove fish all the time mate.

i will suggest it, i would like to save as many as i can

you can hire or borrow a sump pump for the day it will probally be drained before you know it. i use them for draining swimming pools. rehoming fish esp big ones is always a pita. just be glad its not a large tropical or marine fish. finding a new home for a redtailed blue catfish or giant gourmai is a headache.

Take them out and drop them in a carp lake like Broadlands near Beaulieu, levae them for a year or so and they will double in size, then i can fish for them.

Yeah that is mega wrong in my eyes, I hate people that knowingly do this sort of thing.

 

Fair play for doing what you can mate:thumbup1:
