KOI CLAY by Gene Winstead Koi Village / http://www.koivillage.com Water quality is the most important factor in a koi pond or water garden. Koi, goldfish and other aquatic life can survive in less than ideal conditions. One thing pond hobbyist can do to help their fish thrive instead of merely...
I was challenged on another forum to list the basics of koi keeping. So I wrote something quickly "out of my head" like I normally do. Here it is copied and pasted, with a few changes after I thought about the subject a few more days. Some of you may find the comments useful, or perhaps even...

I would love to see them. Anyone have one that is over 8 years old?

Conformation seems to be a very illusive subject regarding our Koi. Certainly we are told that the first thing a mature Koi is judged on is conformation. What precisely is good conformation? You know it when you see it? Everything is in proportion (what proportion)? Conformation is a product...
Hey Tim: Thanks so much for the thread, they are always wonderful pictures! Does anyone have ideas on how those going to Japan can "train their eyes" by the unique experience of looking at some of the world's finest koi? Surely this is something they all want to derive the most benefit from....
What types of a microscope should I have? What kinds are you folks using? Any input much appreciated... Thanks, Mitch
