The follow book from the Koi guru Peter Waddington. As always an invaluble tool for the koi keeper!

The Koi Doctor is written for anyone who cares about the health of their fish. Maarten Lammens has opted not to include irrelevant, hard to understand scientific data. The aim of this book is to present useful information on keeping koi in a clear and concise manner.

After choosing from thousands of photographs, he has included some three hundred images, in the knowledge that one photograph often explains more than a hundred words. Maarten describes the most common problems in koi keeping and presents easy to understand simple solutions.

351 pages dedicated entirely to the study of Gosanke varieties -origins, skin quality, growth development and characteristics of certain bloodlines.

This book has to be the definative work on nishikoi ever! Peter has to be one, if not THE most respected authority on koi outside Japan and i think he has captured this in KOI2KICHI. I have heard that he is to write a new book soon, good luck Peter as i think this will be a hard act to follow ...........Gary
