Keeping koi since:
1999
Introduction to koi: I had seen them as a kid
growing up and always wanted a pond. When I moved to my current house it had a
small watergarden. I added a koi and have been hooked ever since!
Favorite Variety: Showa
Why: Keeping koi can be challenging at times but for the most part is very
relaxing. After a long day of work just kicking back and watching them swim
really relieves the tension of the work day. I am currently using this pond for
Tosai.

Future Plans: I might add a skimmer to this pond or I might just rip it out and
put a 15,000 gallon pond in.
