Are these fish worth anything??
There are 2 Ghost Carp, 5 Shubunkins in the pond of a house I am buying, the sellers are leaving them!! Are they worth anything?? We plan to fill the pond in as its quite large!

The Ghost Carp may be! Depends on size! If they are over a pound (lb) in weight then they could fetch £150+, if they are over 25lb in weight (which I doubt) then you are talking thousands!

Hi M8
Where abouts are you?
The Ghost Koi could be worth something as above dependent on size and grade, best get someone who knows about Koi, as you could be to sell them for a bit.

Ghost koi are usually Euro grade (as opposed to Japanese grade) and are not among the top sellers (like Kohaku, Sanke, Showa, etc...)
Can you post pictures of them ? If so, your best bet would be to put the pictures on something like http://www.koivet.com or http://www.koichat.com
It doesn't just depend on weight (fat fish are called pond mutts) but on build, posture, colouring, skin quality, amongst other things.
Good luck

I'd also be interested in the fish if you are binning them anyway - the ghost koi especially , the shibumkins I'll use to help establish the pond, after that.....
