Book Description
"Koi Kichi" is a must book for any serious Koi enthusiast.
"Koi Kichi" contains many areas of information notusually found in other books.
Most importantly it has a lot of common sense answers based on 20 years of Koi experience.
His chapter on parasites, bacterial, viral, and fungal diseases is authoritative, detailed,
and complete. It is just what will save the novice Koi keeper from poor advice from uniformed
sources. The specific remedies he recommends have already saved enough of our Koi from death
that we have more than recovered the cost of the book.

whynots, and how-to's of water treatment. He also includes specific recommendations
on water pumps, air pumps, plumbing equipment, biofilter material and pond materials.
His chapter on filtration is incredibly good. His knowledge is exactly what any Koi
pond builder or keeper needs.
Peter Waddington is a typically British author with understated wit and humor
liberally sprinkled about to keep us smiling.
His frequent and detailed trips to Japan’s Koi breeding area acquaint us with the
most famous Koi breeders for each Koi variety.
His pictures are beautiful, numerous, and show each of the Koi varieties
