I'm moving, and I have four small (4-6") koi that need a good home. I
live in the Milwaukee area.

I would love to take them for you, but we are in Mississippi!

Just so you know, I see this wonderful offer of yours,
and I care, but am not close enough to help.

You might:
1. post this on the other newsgroup,
rec.ponds
2. go to Google - Maps and center it on your house
with say a 50 mile width, and then type in "Koi".
That will give businesses near you that care.
A call to them might give leads.

(Hey, although some small minded salesman might
think your "free" fish diminishes their sales,
a smarter salesman realizes the more happy
Koi owners there are around, the better for their
business! Your fish would be a great "starter set"
to get someone "hooked" & "addicted"!)

Among others I see are:

Koi Acres
11100 240th Street, Scandia, MN
(855) 564-7467 ? · koiacres.com

Upscale Koi
18862 Joplin Avenue, Lakeville, MN
(612) 325-6627

Jumbo Koi
8590 Excelsior Boulevard
Hopkins, MN 55343

There is a hint that there is a Koi Garden Club's Web site.
Also, any business that sells food for koi, might know
their routine customers.

Good luck.

Well, in Milwaukee and have empty pond out in Brookfield, but I guess they are gone.
