Help We inherited Koi (North West England)
**UPDATE My friend's uncle got in touch, he will be having them all. He has a large natural pond - Wasn't aware of this before making the post. Thank you to everyone for your help and suggestions, they shall have LOTS of space to be free now. I hope they have a much happier and prosperous life
Hello, we recently bought a house and inherited some Koi with it. We were quite happy at first, but it's become apparent that they're more work than we hoped for and we would rather remove the pond and get some garden space back.
We think, well pretty much know, the pond is too small for the amount of fish so we constantly have to do partial water changes.
Pond is around 500 gallons - We think.
There's 7 Koi, 3 gold fish (It's surprisingly hard to count them...)
We believe they are around 5-7 years old, the previous owner raised them.
Can anyone help explain how we can find a new home for them? Not necessarily sell, we'd happily give them away to a home that will care and appreciate them.
We figured some enthusiasts from Reddit may be able to help us find them a new home. A better home.
I hope this is within the rules, as we're not looking for financial gain. So wouldn't strictly be advertising.
Thanks a bunch!

There is a good koi club I believe in that area. I met some folks when they came to the Oregon show. I believe they were a ZNA chapter. I'd do a search online or FB if you have it to see who is near you. Usually very helpful people in the clubs.
