	Transporting Koi
		The koi net should be as large as possible (depending on the size of the koi) though larger nets are more difficult to move through the pond water, particularly if the net has a telescopic handle and it is extended.
		Its risky to approach the koi from it's tail since the caudal fin may be damaged as the koi responds vigorously to the net touching its tail.
		The koi is brought through the opening of the net head first by carefully advancing the net over the head of the koi or by manipulating the head of the koi into the net with your free hand.

	Koi Bitto #8- The 80cm Quest: Part II - Koi-Bito Magazine Koi Forum
		These koi are being grown to their largest potential size in the shortest possible time, for me I do not disagree with this, as I’m in favour of big koi looking youthful, but it is a different way of keeping koi.
		So if a koi is kept at year round summer temperature, being fed year round this spawning will not halt growth to any degree, as their egg production is a constant ongoing thing.
		But if a koi which has been kept in a seasonal environment is spawned, this will nearly halt its growth for the season, as for a mature female, egg production is more important than growth and it only has a short period before waters start cooling again at the start of autumn.

	Beginners Koi Page
		Koi are Japanese colored carp and have barbels on their chins which show they were originally bottom feeders.
		Koi also do better when the water is deeper because it gives them more room to exercise by swimming from top to bottom as well as along the length of your pond.
		Koi will knock over small plant containers, and except for being heavy to move about, larger containers are better because they hold more dirt and the plants seem to grow better and larger.

	Koi Facts
		Originating from Eastern Asia and China, where the earliest written record of the species is found, KOI were introduced to Japan by the invading Chinese around 200 A.D. In the 17th Century, Japanese rice farmers stocked their paddies to supplement their diets in the isolated Niigata region.
		Breeding "fancy" KOI was restricted to the Niigata region until the beginning of the 20th Century.
		In 1914, 27 KOI were sent to the great Tokyo Exhibition to promote the economic plight of the poverty stricken Niigata region.

	Frequently Asked Water Gardening Questions
		Conservatively speaking, a Koi that is kept in a small pond environment in someone's backyard will live 20-30 years if cared for properly.
		The minimum aquarium size for a Koi up to 12 inches would be 75 gallons per fish and up to 350 gallons per hour filtration per fish, this will allow enough beneficial surface area for bacteria to colonize.
		Large Koi should be allowed to go into hibernation in your winter pond rather than risk keeping them over in a tub in your house or basement.

		In their natural state Koi love to root around on a mud bottom and have two "barbels" on the side of their mouths which are sensing organs.
		Koi ponds are frequently made using 45 mil EPDM liner which looks like the inner tube from a tire.
		While we are discussing Koi and plants I should mention that if you want to keep them in the same pond, then parts of the bottom of the pond should be flat so the plant containers will rest properly on the bottom.

	Building a Koi Pond
		8' means you can't stand up in it without taking out a lot of the water, but it will make it a little more difficult for Great Blue Herons, Kingfishers, etc to clean out your pond.
		Koi need shade from direct sunlight; you can provide plants (like water lilies) with plant stands, or clay drain tiles, anything that will give them relief.
		Koi don't eat when the water is much colder than 50 degrees, and they don't grow when they don't eat.

	What's New at the School of Veterinary Medicine, UC Davis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In 1997, an infectious disease resulting in massive mortalities of koi (Cyprinus carpio koi), a colorful strain of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio carpio), was reported in Germany (1).
		The agent responsible for these epidemics, koi herpesvirus (KHV), was first isolated by our laboratory in 1998 from koi experiencing heavy mortality in both the U.S.A. and Israel (3) and has been repeatedly isolated since (6-8).
		The koi industry has experienced enforced quarantines of KHV positive facilities, restrictions on international koi commerce, cancellation of important koi shows, substantial lawsuits between hobbyists and their suppliers, and untold losses of fish by koi breeders, retailers, and hobbyists around the world.
