4.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone considering keeping Koi carp, 9 May 2002
By A Customer
This is an excellent book for anyone contemplating having their own Koi pond. It is a very easy reading book that covers everything from siting the pond through to the final stocking and caring for koi.

It gives a good basic outline of the many aspects of owning koi rather than concentrating on any particular topic. So you are given a good basic knowledge of all areas, allowing you to fully understand what will actually be involoved with building your own pond and the eventual day to day care required for these fish.

This book is a must have for anyone considering this hobby. It will change your mind from should I keep koi to actually going out and doing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, 7 Aug 2002
I am a newish ponder and recently purchased this book. I can honestly say it has helped me a great deal from stocking ponds to illness to identifying different types of Koi.

The book is full of easy to understand information on creating a first time pond, also provides details on what types of filters and pumps to use, even goes as far as were the best site/place is to create the pond, full sun, shade or partial.

Well worth the purchase.
