Great resource for beginner Koi hobbyists

When I started keeping koi again after so many years. One of the most important resources I had was asking experts on forums.

That being said, it takes a lot of effort for one to ask scattered questions about this and that, how to build your pond, filtration system, how to choose koi, what to feed them...etc

I find that the best way is to borrow and buy books that are about koi, and learn all the basics first. Keeping koi is not a tough business, but it takes some time to research your options and learn the fundamental in how to keep both you and your fish happy.

Here's one of the fairly good resources that I've used----> bit.ly/KkMseu

It shares some basic but important information, for example:

What are koi and what are the varieties?
How do you plan and set up a pond or tank for your fish?
Tips on how to pick and buy healthy koi?
More importantly, how to pick baby koi that have higher potentials of show quality.
How to build an appropriate filtration system for your pond or tank?
HOW to identify and treat different diseases that can occur with koi fish?

It is very important to have a background of these topics before you post your questions on any koi forum. Trust me it will save you so much time and frustration.
