Excellent source of information for beginners. Covers the obvious and also the important but most often overlooked aspects of Koi. Could use more descriptions on the color varieties, but there are other books for that. If you want to know what's involved in keeping Koi, this should be your first book.

I usually like the Dummies books but this one wasn't what I was looking for. There was too much focus on things like pond design and building and not enough on caring for koi, which is what I needed. Fortunately, Amazon has a terrific return policy so they rate 5 stars.

i have not read this book but my father can;t put it down he loves it like all the for dummy books it very good and well formatted

THIS BOOK GIVE ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW AND SOME. I HAVE MANY OF THE DUMMY BOOKS AND FIND THEY ARE FILLED WITH INFO.

Super information. Clear info, easy to understand. I bought this book before I had my 3,000 gal. pond built. It really helped me understand what type/kind of filtration I would need/want.
I still look things up, now 3 years into the hobby of keeping a pond with great fish!

I getting ready to chance an old rose garden into a Koi pond and this book gives a great review from top to bottom. This is a must have! I rented 1st from the local library and then bought it. Can't wait to get started!

The book is very helpful. I have been involved with rearing Koi for some time and still obtain information that was new to me. Anyone interested in raising Koi would find this book very valuable.

It has a lot of practical information but I have had fish since 1965, so it was limited as far as new information for me. It is a good little book, but not my favorite or even in my top 2. For the new koi owner it would be very helpful to show basic requirement for healthy koi living standards. In the right bginners hands it could save them from making expensive mistakes, so there is a nitch for this book. :-)

What a wonderful idea for the yard. The sound of splashing water. Pretty flowering water plants and Koi fish swiming around. The pond was built,skimmer and filter set in place, fish added along with the plants and off to the side was a pile of instruction books in about 15 different languages. Woops--Where do I start? There is a lot of information that I need to keep these finned friends alive- "Koi for dummies" answered all my problems in a language I could understand with out going back to school for Fish 101. The Koi are a joy to watch--the pond is quite peacefull to sit by but believe me, its a lot of work. This book has made my "new job" much easier

This book appears to be what I need for the upkeep on an already existing Koi pond.
