There is some great - Free - information on this page. While this information is geared toward commercial pond aquaculture, the fact is most, if not all, of the technology and scientific understanding of ornamental fish ponds was pioneered in commercial aquaculture. Our founder, Josh Reilly, was trained in production aquaculture, has worked with threatened and endangered aquatic species, and ornamental fish as both a professional scientist and as a regular fish nerd.
The articles selected here, along with website links, can be applied to all aspects of koi keeping and indeed fish farming. Josh finds them very informative and helpful to this day. We provide these to give you appropriate scientifically vetted information to make you better fish keepers. There is plenty more FREE STUFF on-line and we have links to some excellent website sources for you here as well.
Some of these articles may reference chemicals no longer in use or information that is out of date, or not valid in your State. Similarly, these publications have been written by aquatic professionals in different parts of the USA and may not be applicable to your specific location. Most of these fact sheets are in PDF format.
As always use your own judgement and feel free to consult our owner(s), your Aquatic Veterinarian, or any other trusted fish geeks about the applicability of this information to your specific pond conditions. Happy fish keeping!!!
