Blaze Japanese imported Hi Utsuri.  Blaze is the star of my pond.  She has her own table she likes to eat at by herself.  She also enjoys her grapefruit Female

"Lucky"  used to be called the pump fish because he was sucked into a pump the same day he arrived in late 1999.  He broke his back in 4 places. When we moved to NC he went over all the water falls in my pond.  That is when I changed his name from the "pump fish" to Lucky! Sadly Lucky passed away on Christmas Eve of 2005.  As he got older it was increasingly harder for him to swim. We have some amazing babies he produced to carry on his name Read his story here

Utsee is Rich's fish.  She is the only fish he has ever bought. He fell in love with her at a Koi show. She was bred by Suda.  She too is an amazing fish who survived many odds and stumped 2 of the best fish vets in the USA. You can read about Utsee here  She won first place at the koi show!

Japanese Imported Yamabuki Ogon, a pathetically thin koi that I will fatten up (as of late 2015, she's gotten plenty fat.)

Zorro is another super star in my pond. Visitors are in total awe of him.  The Japanese believe a black koi in the pond is good luck  Male

Sunny, what can I say?  She was my very first fish and it was love at first site.

Sunny is over 31 years old at this writing in 2015  She no longer gets eggs (top left photo) because of her age. In the spring of 2004 Sunny and Lucky produced their last spawn together. 

We now have "Sparkle Plenty" who will replace Sunny as your yellow butterfly breeder.  She has her Dad's (Lucky) long pectoral fins and her moms incredibly long tail fin.
