  • Hi Jim

    I saw your response about the fish.'Thanks. My husband and I "think" we want to add more fish. We currently have 2 koi, 2 goldfish, and 5 unknowns. We're a little concerned that we don't have enough plants to add fish yet. Do you offer tours of your set-up and advise about fish to plant ratios?
