Some of GPPS members are also members in the Valley of the Sun Koi Club here in Phoenix and will be busy during the next GPPS meeting in February.  The show will have support from some people who just love keeping koi: Tucson, AZ, Colorado, and Illinois to name a few.  Goldfish and Koi are separate species of the carp family.
