Koi Crazy Book

This book was written between 2005 to 2008 and the information within is as up-to-date as is possible for the hobby of keeping Koi in 2009. The contents page of the book gives a brief outline of all topics covered and the 11 chapters listed below have been written to detail, in full, every aspect of each topic.

Peter Waddington has wrote this book in mind of ALL classes of Koi enthusiasts, ranging from absolute beginners right through to those who are very experienced.

Some pertinent information has been transferred from Peter’s first book ‘Koi Kichi’ in 1995, some has been transferred fto his second book ‘Koi2Kichi’ in 2004 and the majority is new material he has prepared since then.

In order to be able to retail this presentation at a very economical price today, Peter chose not to take up valuable pages with entire wasted pages, whole page photographs, oversized graphics and other embellishments which only serve, in my eyes, as very expensive padding. Instead, each of the pages in this book contains only ‘easy-to-read, black-on-white text and relevant photographs’ thus, as you will see upon inspection, every single page is full to the brim with accurate and up to the minute information.

Having closely inspected the finished article, Peter consider’s this book to be the very best available today, (at any price), on the entire subject of keeping and understanding Nishikigoi.

Topics:

• Introduction to Nishikigoi.
• History of Nishikigoi.
• Koi varieities & Classifications.
• The Pond.
• The Filtration.
• Temperature requirements.
• Water keeping.
• Feeding.
• Parasitic & Bacterial detection and treatments.
• Handling; Breeding; Showing; Quarantine etc.
• The famous Koi breeders of Japan.

Nishikigoi Variety Book

There are more than 140 different varieties of Koi, and new varieties are being born all the time.

In order for many people around the world to enjoy Koi with peace of mind, we think it is important to have uniform names and standards for the varieties. Therefore, in Japan, the main terms related to Koi, as well as names and definitions of 21 varieties, were established as Japanese Agricultural Standards in February 2022.

In this booklet, in addition to the 21 JAS-established varieties, we have established names and definitions for 129 varieties and systematized each variety in an easy-to-understand manner.

With these unified standards we hope that Koi will be loved all over the world.
