		Koi are hardy fish, relatively large in size, and the most practical way to keep them is in an outdoor pond.
		Most of the book concentrates on koi themselves, presenting a brief history of how this fish originated, and continuing with information on purchasing, maintaining, and breeding these unusual and exotically beautiful fish.
		On the other hand, most of the other chapters are at least adequate, and the koi varieties section is outstanding, with the clearest delineation of the many koi types I have ever read--anyone can tell a showa from a sanke after looking at the side-by-side comparison.
