The "mysterious" art of Koi keeping is a long established practice no longer confined to just the Japanese culture and lifestyle as it has been throughout the centuries. Koi, sometimes known as Nishikigoi, are the multi-hued varieties of carp first developed and bred in Japan. However, in recent years Koi keeping has expanded to all corners of the globe and become one of the most popular and sophisticated pastimes around. Unfortunately, authentic Koi keeping is a complex and precise science, a fact many people are not aware of. But, as author Peter Cole explains, just because the task is complex doesn't mean that it's too hard to master. Keeping information simple, Coyle covers all aspects, from buying, rearing and health care to vital details of pond construction, water supply, and seasonal aspects. Koi culture goes back over 1000 years with patience, precision and a love of carp, you, too, can join this intriguing and lengthy tradition.

In Japan, breeding koi--a colorful and beautiful member of the carp family--has occupied a position between hobby and art form for more than two centuries. This stunningly illustrated book, compiled by a team of koi experts, shows and tells aquarium enthusiasts virtually everything they need to know about this fascinating activity. Koi are hardy fish, relatively large in size, and the most practical way to keep them is in an outdoor pond. Combining text with illustrations, an important section of the book explains the requirements of a garden pond for koi, showing the filtration system and pointing out how it functions. Most of the book concentrates on koi themselves, focusing on a brief history of koi, advice on buying koi, the fish's physiology, health care, feeding, breeding koi, showing koi, and joining koi clubs. An 80-page section tells all about koi variations, and features color photos of more than 100 varieties. Illustrated two-page spreads review each variety's history, and show both their more desirable and less desirable color markings. Here is a beautifully designed and illustrated volume that emphasizes the special satisfactions of keeping and breeding koi. Approximately 450 color photos and illustrations.
