Paul, actually there were plenty of choices at Max's place. He has a very very large establishment, and many ponds full of koi that we didn't explore cause our time was limited by the rain. our trip to the koi dealers was made for "just looking" exercise. it's a bit of a bother to bring koi back from overseas (too many regulations) so we didn't really try to look for koi to buy. It's always better to buy locally cause you don't have to go through all that procedure to bring back koi. even if the fish cost half the price overseas compared to local, in the end you pay the same if not more, and that is IF you are able to get the koi out of customs, which is never guaranteed - you have to have papers. anyway, it was a fun trip but it's nothing major. to actually buy our koi, we will still look first at local dealers. it's the most convenient, cheapest, and safest way to obtain new koi.
