The fun and easy way to select and care for these popular fish.
Koi, a variety of carp, are among the most popular fish species, especially for people with ponds. Koi come in many colorful varieties, can grow up to two feet long, and will come to the surface of a pond to be stroked and fed by hand. Small Koi (three or four inches long) can be bought for less than $10, but larger specimens can cost over $1,000, with some rare fish selling for as much as $10,000. This practical guide explains how to set up a pond or aquarium for Koi, select filters and heaters, and choose and care for the fish. Complete with eight pages of color photos that picture popular Koi varieties as well as tips on food, health care, and protecting Koi from predators, this book is an indispensable reference for Koi owners and would-be owners everywhere.
