OK! Why Koi(s) are so expensive?

Hey there.

We all know a few reasons why Koi are expensive and keeping Koi is an expensive hobby. However... if someone asks you "Why Koi are so expensive?" What is your first reasoning?

My response is that

Kois are not expensive... good kois are.

Re: Costia

The raised scales are not a parasite syptom. But ofc when a fish is attacked by parasite its immune system becomes more vulnerable to other infections. The red marks could easily be from the fish flashing (/rubbing) itself on different areas. But first things first, we have to know how well you wate...

Re: What to deal with first ? chinodella or flukes?

I am not near by man. I am an 8 hours flight from the UK. Now if I was Richard Bradson, it would be no problem to take a flight there and back but because of genetic bad luck or genetic conspiracy, I am someone else ;p

Already it is summer and many koi keepers have their wives whining to go to the beautifull Santorini.
