      OMG, really?

      So now I am starting to understand why people think they can make money breeding Koi, because of crap like this, http://www.koifarmguide.com I feel sorry that people buy into this garbage, the only one making a profit is the seller of this bogus guide. There are a zillion ways to make money from a home business, this one is an extreme long shot.

      In a similar but not unrelated vein, I also raise bettas. On the IBC message board, we periodically get (from newbies to breeding) "HOW do any of you make money breeding and raising bettas?!?" Ummmm, we don't. We do it because we love it. Have to be in Thailand/Viet Nam/etc. to make money doing it. Similar for koi - need to be in the correct environment with correct conditions and available labor, etc. People will learn........

      I'm in, sign me up! Most people with a pond are not even willing to spend $50 on a koi...

      Wow 249 complaints to the Better Business bureau in just the last 12 months alone. That's pretty bad.

      WoooooW....I thought about breeding koi and it's going to strictly be a hobby...I mean with the food, water, electric prices you'd have to have a pretty huge operation selling LOTS of fish just to break even.
