Known throughout the world for its beauty and personality, koi is one of the most carefully bred fish species around. Raising koi is especially time-consuming and requires more than just sprinkling little flakes in the fish bowl. But thankfully, you don’t have to be an expert to maintain your own koi pond. Koi For Dummies shows you how easy and fun it can be to own and care for these delicate fish. Whether building a pond or aquarium for the indoors or outdoors, this easy-to-understand guide explores all of your options. Clear, concise advice helps you: Appreciate your koi’s beauty Build, design, and maintain your koi pond or aquarium Find and select koi and the proper supplies Keep your koi happy and healthy Treat your koi for parasites, bacterial infections, and viruses Breed and care for baby koi Show off your koi to other koi enthusiasts Review: Excellent for newbees getting into Koi and ponds - After recently moving house we inherited a large pond with Koi. This book has been an excellent reference, when we knew very little about Koi and ponds. As with all of the Dummies books, the text is very easy to understand, it is informative, and the book has a lot of content. Definitely a recommendation for anyone starting out on managing a pond and looking after Koi. Review: Excellent Introduction - This book is an excellent introduction to Koi. It builds up knowledge in a thorough but easy to digest format and is definitely one of the better 'for dummies' books we have in the house. With the usual 'for dummies' humour punctuating it, it is an actual reference book and one that will be used again in future.

Excellent for newbees getting into Koi and ponds
After recently moving house we inherited a large pond with Koi. This book has been an excellent reference, when we knew very little about Koi and ponds. As with all of the Dummies books, the text is very easy to understand, it is informative, and the book has a lot of content. Definitely a recommendation for anyone starting out on managing a pond and looking after Koi.

Excellent Introduction
This book is an excellent introduction to Koi. It builds up knowledge in a thorough but easy to digest format and is definitely one of the better 'for dummies' books we have in the house. With the usual 'for dummies' humour punctuating it, it is an actual reference book and one that will be used again in future.

He would highly recommend.
I bought this for my Dad who as inherited a Koi pond with his new house. He said that it has been an interesting and educational read with no-fuss instructions on how to keep Koi if you're a beginner. He would highly recommend.

Fair amount of info but no colour pictures !
Call me old fashioned, but when you read about the different types of koi, classified to a large degree by their colours, I expected colour pictures ! Especially when you read on page 27 "check out the color section of this book for photos of the various koi varieties", I then start to feel a little short-changed.

Great book, just wish they would come up with a "For Dummies" book on Goldfish.
I want to build a small pond for goldfish, so some of the information in this book helped. Great book! Just can't find any book on Goldfish that's worth anything.
