4.0 out of 5 stars Beggining koi book, June 29, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Koi: An Owner's Guide toa Happy Healthy Fish (Happy Healthy Pet) (Hardcover)
this book is very helpful in giving a begginers look at koi keeping. it gives information about all sorts of things including informationg on breeding, feeding, classification, deiseases and their cures, pond maintenance, and just some basic information that helps give an idea of what koi keeping is like.

I gave this book four stares because i feel that people with limited experience will like tis book but people with extensive koi knowledge will not find rthis book helpful. Regardless this is a book that should be in everyones books shelf.
