Koi Pool - Swimming with da fishies

[a1wonder]

Koi "Pool" from Ebay

I laughed so far as soon as I saw this. I don't know if this a joke of if the person is serious I see the pools at walmart al the time in the summer.

 

[WILDER]

, I laughed to, might buy one for my goldfish for the summer.

Hahahaha It's an idea though.... you really could swim with them, probably not hygenic, but it would be fun. Why pay thousands to swim with dolphin when you pay only *insert price of item here* to swim with koi?

Am I missing something, I thought it was a quarantine tank? (granted they have the woman in a swim suit, but...)

 

[Paul_MTS]

I think it's missed something aswell, koi quarantine/holding tanks generally look like that.

It's an above grown inflatable kiddie pool they sell them at walmart, k-mart, canadian tire, and I'm sure target. In any of the season departments I was looking it up in my dad's canadian tire catology and it was onsale "this summer" for 129.99 including pool cleaning net.

Its an add for those inflatable pools and the guy Photoshopped in some pics of a Koi. U probly could keep them in there though

i'm sure it could be done
a pool filter could hold massive amounts of beneficial bacteria considering it's basically sand...
you just put a fountain in the middle and there you go

problem is that thing will freeze bottom to top in the winter, unlike ponds which are dug into the ground....

underground ponds still freeze in winter around here, when its -40 lol,


its defintatly photoshopped

 

[SuckerLove86]

Haha, totally photoshopped. Someone had some fun with the "Drop Shadow"

I suppose it's a nifty idea though. But given the choice, I'd rather just buy one locally...

If there's only one accesory included, do you really need four bullets?

That has to be at least an honorable mention in the top 10 Ebay Photoshopped Schlock of the Year award.

This proves my point that people will try to market anything for regular around-the-house use for fish along with a considerable markup.

/Also wins laugh-of-the-night award
