Hi I am new to this board. I have been asking a lot of questions and reading,learning and enjoying. I have been to my local fish store and 'Koi' are marketed as goldfish. KOI GOLDFISH. Feeder gold fish are not even considered 'real fish' to these people. It is very confusing . That is why we all do our research BUT... I read the post 'koi are goldfish' with much interest. Everyone knows this is a message board and not an acreddited encyclopedia. I took offense to the rude response by 'Billy'. It came across as condensending, know it all, rude, and simply impolite. There was no maliscious intent on the original post but the reply by Billy was mean. Billy, you may be knowledgable but perhaps you should read a book or two on communication and manners.
I am new....just my gut response..sorry. I am here to learn and not waste my time reading whos dog is bigger
