The Interpet Encyclopedia of Koi is a comprehensive introduction to
keeping Koi fish. Their striking patterns and delicate coloration are
reason enough for the ever-increasing popularity of these beautiful
fish, but they are also fun to keep and can even become quite tame.
Koi shows attract an enthusiastic following of competitors and
spectators alike, and Koi societies are thriving as interest in the
hobby grows. And, of course, the whole aspect of water gardening --
both Western and Oriental -- plays an inherent part in the enjoyment of
Koi-keeping for a great number of Koi enthusiasts.
This book is divided into two important sections. Part One is full
of practical Koi-keeping information and includes chapters on the
history of Nishikigoi, Koi anatomy, pond and filter construction, water
quality and filtration, buying Koi, feeding Koi, seasonal care,
landscaping and water gardens, breeding Koi, health care, and showing
Koi. |
