Gone fishing...



After much research and thinking about it, we have decided to add fish to our product line at Bloomers. We have been dabbling in water gardening for years, installing ponds, selling water lilies and other aquatic plants, and water garden supplies. So it seemed only a natural progression to start selling fish. We are starting with 2 tanks, one 200 gal. and one 300 gal. Our 1st shipment of fish consist of 3" to 4" koi and we are waiting for another shipment of more 3" to 4" and some larger select koi in the 6" to 8" range. So far DHL has lost two shipments of our fish. This is very frustrating as well as a real bummer for the fish.(They croaked). The koi are quite beautiful. I especially like the butterfly koi with their exotic fins. In the near future we will be adding more varieties such as Saragosa Comets, Fantails, etc. Here is a couple of pics of the tank setup and a shot of some koi waiting to go to someones pond.
This will be my last post for at least a week as I am leaving for Missouri with my son, Daly, to attend a youth conference on biblical relationships that honour God. We are both excited to see what God has in store for us at this conference. Until I return, happy blogging.
