I want to buy some koi fish (any colour) but I don’t know how much they cost. Does the price depend on the size of the fish? If so, how much would a small one cost? A big one?

If you buy koi fully grown from a breeder in Japan, then your koi could cost you from 200 to 1500 US dollars. Here is a nice breeder in Japan of excellent quality koi who will ship to Canada: http://www.kodamakoifarm.com/lover/start...
If you try to buy koi from a local pet store, then you are most likely to only be able to find them while they are less than six inches long. It will take years for koi to grow to be more than a foot long. The advantage to buying them young is that they are sold for less than ten US dollars. Expect a purchase price of six to seven dollars per koi at the local shop. You can find pet stores near you in your local phone book or by going to http://find.mapmuse.com/interest/aquariu...
Please remember that koi should be kept in large ponds that are able to support fish of that size. These are not aquarium fish. But I’m sure you know that already, so have fun and enjoy your new koi
You can get a small Koi from Petsmart (if they have them in Canada) for probably about $5.00. Usually the bigger the more expensive. But it you are looking for show Koi for their colors and markings, you could be talking about thousand of $. Just depends on what you want. If you are looking for a fish for an aquarium, a Koi would not be suitable. They get huge and really need to be in a good sized pond.
