200 people feeding the koi - I can just imagine the fish waste..... I have to believe the zoo is well equipped to handling that type of thing....

You can spend as much or as little as you would like on koi. The yellow/orange one with the black overlay at the top of the picture, I bought for $5 about 3-4 years ago. He is now about 17" long and was about 4" when I bought him. I also think you can find fish in places like Craigs List and that type of thing if you look. I know Petco carries them as well for not a lot of money. Shortleaf is right though - bigger is usually more expensive....
