Just a random thought....

How many members on BCA have koi ponds? and how many care about high quality fish instead of the usual pond stuff we see in the retail market

we have a high end pond sponsor. jackson at crystal ponds. his fish are beautiful. japanese koi. and he does amazing pond work.
i understand your point of view i believe..as theres different markets. alot of people on here want higher end fish..but the main percentage of the population want basic fish and alot are entry level fish keepers. petshops need to sell what sells to stay open and pay the lease, wages etc.
apparently..according to marketing..forum sales make up about 3 percent of sales .theres always online high end koi,

i work at a koi farm haha... i would say there high quality but that would just be bias.
