KOI NET

THE ON-LINE KOI MAGAZINE

It’s warm, the sun is shining, hopefully Spring has
arrived at last. Water temperatures are increasing and
our Koi are looking for more food. Tim Waddington of
Quality Nishikigoi gives some helpful advice for Koi
Keepers on how to bring your Koi safely from Winter
into Spring. Also Syd Mitchell explains how to avoid
and deal with ammonia and nitrite spikes which can
cause problems at this time of the year.
Martin Symonds continues with his series telling the
story of the Urakawa Koi Farm and the Torazo brand
and sends us news with his ‘Postcard from Niigata’.
Bernie Woollands and Johan Leurs visit the All Japan
Nishikigoi Koi Show and spend time predicting the
Koi Net is published by winner. Also Bernie seeks out Bob Robson’s Kikisui
Buzz Digital, Fircroft House, which was awarded the Tsubaki prize at the All Japan
Fircroft Way, Edenbridge,
Kent TN8 6EJ Nishikigoi Koi Show in Tokyo.
