Buri fish

[Colin Fisher]

I was given 10 buri fish  as a present which I have with my koi  but I dont know anything about them (buri).Does anybody have any info about them . All I can say is that they are getting on well with the koi.

are you sure on the fish type as Buri is a japanese salt water fish 

[Colin Fisher]

Hi Andrew  yes it is a buri & yes it was a salt water fish .they are farmed here in israel.Im having great difficulty getting more info about them.In case you wondering why I dont contact the kibbutz that farming them it is simply that they don't  supply to the local market & they are secretive about it.
