Unboxing Butterfly Koi Fish from eBay _ Artisan Well Upkeep _ Koi shipped to your door

In this video we unbox an order of butterfly koi fish delivered to us in the mail directly to our address from eBay. The eBay seller is dmiller000 and I recommend him for your fish ordering needs. These fish are being put in the overflow pond of our artisan well which requires fish to keep the algae down, we just decided on pretty fish

I've had a koi pond, and I enjoyed having the pond,I was told if they had whiskers they were male.

[@lincolnmaniac]

my friend Skippy raised koi in his pond. they got large.

[@thissideofthefirmament]

That's what I'm hoping for. Grow littles guys and girls!

[@emilielantz826]

Will they be ok during the winter?

[@thissideofthefirmament]

Yes they will go deeper into the pond, but as far as temperature, this pond won't freeze because it is an overflow pond from our ground water well. It was actually warmer in the pond that day than it was in the outside air!

Is there a link to the seller

[@thissideofthefirmament]

I don't have a link, no. I would try searching on eBay to see what is available now. This video is a few years old so the sellers and stock are probably quite different now.

How much did u pay for all of them ?

[@sf49erswarriorsgiantsgumba99]

Any updates on the little guys?

[@thissideofthefirmament]

Not much to report. They're hiding still. My brother dunks a 5 gallon bucket into the pond to fill with water for the goats. One day while doing that he scooped up one little butterfly koi. The suction of the bucket going into the water sucked it out from it's hiding spot. He put it back in the pond obviously...but that has been our only visual indication that they're still in there. But this is what I expected ... It's how our current larger koi behaved when we first got them when they were a smaller size. We've also been able to keep up on killing the frogs in the pond this year...the frogs are the worst predator for the babies. Im hopeful to see them next summer!

@@thissideofthefirmament awesome!! Great to see them in the future to see how they turn out..

[@thissideofthefirmament]

I'll definitely post a video when they emerge. But a year is a long time to wait! On a side note, our larger koi spawned this spring. I even caught it on video but then my phone was dropped and the black screen of death was it's fate. So the video was also lost. But Lord willing that pond will be popping with pretty fish!
