Shintaro Koi arrive in the UK

I received the following pics from Tim at UK Nishikigoi of the Shintaro Koi arriving in the UK following their departure from Mushigame on Thursday evening - http://www.niigata-nishikigoi.com/node/505.

The building below is the Fish Border Inspection Point, part of the Animal Reception Centre at Heathrow Airport.  Many a dealer has spent hours stood outside here in the winter cold waiting frustrated whilst their Koi are cleared.

The boxes being loaded onto the truck following clearance, the main ARC building in the background.

Some of the Koi released into their pond at UK Nishikigoi where they'll be quarantined.

Another shot of that Showa.
