Just Look at what all these Koi Fish Owner's have to say about my minicourse on Koi Fish Care...
“John I’m really glad I found your site on Koi fish. One of our close friends had a koi pond for many years. They always told us we should put in a pond in our back yard but we never seemed to get around to it. Then this spring we decided to redo our backyard and started looking into koi ponds. That’s when we found your site. I signed up for your minicourse and after that we were hooked. About half way through we started our project. The information was just what we needed to get started. We also bought your book and the information was invaluable. I hope you keep the tips and suggestions coming. We always look forward to seeing them in our email.” Ted and Kaye – South Carolina “My wife had been after me for years to put in a koi pond but I was never sure I could do it myself even though I considered myself pretty good with home projects and the like. I signed up for your information and I found it very informative. After reading the parts on doing it yourself and pond maintenance I felt pretty confident I could do the project. Well the project is complete now and you should see are backyard. I’m really glad we decided on putting in the pond. I don’t think it would have turned out nearly as good if it hadn’t been for all your great tips.” Mack P – Indiana “Thanks for the helpful information on bring new fish into a pond and getting them acclimated. We have had a Koi pond for about three years now but never was able to keep the fish healthy. They always had problems when we added new fish. The experts always seemed to think it was the water condition. I followed your suggestions on what to do to with new fish. I have to say we haven’t had any more problems. I just wish I had found you sooner.” Neil - Florida “I found the information on how to feed Koi very interesting. I’ve always wanted to be able to hand feed my fish. Now I get a lot more enjoyment out of my fish and I think they have more fun eating as well! I decided to buy your book as well and found a lot of information I had never known before. Thanks for all your help.” Sarah - California “Thanks for all the Great advice John! We bought a new home awhile back and it had a koi pond in the back. We never intended to keep it but we really didn’t know what to do with it. From neglect I guess the pond starting going down hill. Rather than going to all the expense of taking it out, we decided to try and figure out what to do to get it back in shape. Your information was invaluable in getting us up to speed in record time. The information on pond maintenance and the problems stress can cause on Koi fish were really eye openers. I can honestly say all your information saved this pond for us. We also bought your book and now we are enjoying our Koi pond like we never thought possible.” Mike and Nancy - Illinois |

Koi Care Tips
Koi are the most popular fresh water fish today. They can be found in large and small Koi ponds around the world. They are truly a majestic fish and are a spectacular addition to any outdoor pond. They are loved for the color they bring and the longevity of life. The secret to beautiful long living fish is in the Koi care you give. If you’re lucky enough to have a water garden in your backyard or are planning on building one then you should consider making it a Koi pond.
The word Koi comes from the Japanese word meaning “carp.” Koi are mutations of carp bred down through the years for their beautiful color variations. Today they come in an unbelievable array of colors from red, orange, blue, black yellow, white, silver and more. It has taken a lot of time, patience and skill to develop the many varieties of Koi found around the world today. It takes a keen understanding of the environment and diet to develop these beautiful fish and provide the Koi care they need.
Koi are compatible with many other kinds of fish. If the pond is large enough they can be kept with a wide variety of fish. The one consideration is that the other fish be large enough so that they will not be thought of as food by the Koi. Large gold fish can easily be kept with Koi.
When it comes to good Koi care the quality of the water is the most important factor. If the water isn’t maintained correctly then the health of your Koi will suffer. Koi are a cold water fish and so it’s best to keep the water temperature between 61 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s also important to keep the water well oxygenated and clean. The size of the Koi fish relative to the size of the pond is also very important. Some Koi can grow to be quite large. Most Koi will thrive best in ponds that are 500 hundred gallons or more and four feet or more in depth. If you have a smaller pond and you have smaller Koi fish make sure you watch how large they get. If they start getting to large make sure you replace them with smaller fish or enlarge the pond. Give them away or sell them to someone who has a large enough facility to handle them. It’s important to give you fish the kind of Koi care they need. They are certainly a lot more expensive then gold fish and represent a large investment on your part. Take good care of them.
Because Koi thrive in cold water they can be kept outside in the winter. If your pond is at least four feet deep they will be fine. As winter comes on and the water temperature begins to drop, the Koi will begin their winter hibernation. For good Koi fish care don’t feed your Koi in weather that stays below fifty degrees Fahrenheit. As the fish start to hibernate their digestive system will slow almost completely. Any food left in the stomach will go bad and cause the Koi to get sick.
Most Koi owners consider themselves very lucky to have these beautiful ornamental fish to enjoy. Provide the best Koi fish care and they will give you years of pleasure.
Sincerely,
