Keeping koi (often called "living jewels") in top-quality condition takes dedication and year-round care, but it is a challenge that thousands of koi enthusiasts are happy to accept in pursuit of perfection. They are a fiercely devoted group willing to spend hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars to nurture, show and build their collection.

Written by a team of international experts, Koi: A Complete Guide to their Care and Color Varieties contains information and advice that incorporates the latest developments in koi research.

  • Purchasing koi
  • Body conformation, deportment, color, pattern, and quality

  • Water quality and filtration
  • Koi physiology, disease prevention, and good nutrition
  • Showing koi, how to achieve optimal health, color and shine
  • Breeding
  • Designing and building a pond
  • Identifying the many varieties of koi.

This book fulfils the need for a reasonably priced and up to date, expert guide on keeping koi. It is essential selection for all enthusiasts, from excited beginners to koi kichi ("koi crazy").
