Within minutes my shirt was drenched and our customer had just about passed out! Still we got the job done and two very nice fish are on their way to a new home. From here on you can start to appreciate the journey you're about to undertake. Koi keeping is an ongoing sometimes life long hobby that is unique amongst fish keeping experiences. It can delight, frustrate, challenge and reward you in the way few other hobbies can. It might be intimidating, but stick with it as best you can. No two Koi ponds are ever the same, and no two filtration systems are ever the same. So a specialist with knowledge, advice and experience is worth their weight in gold. We're passionate about our fish and we hope that this passion reflects on our website that we work hard on to make as useful as possible for you. The idea behind Happy Koi is to help and teach you what you need to know about keeping Koi. We find that sadly it is often ignorance that kills more Koi than anything else and whilst that may lead to increased fish sales for ourselves we're not about selling fish for the sake of making money on this basis! Rather, we're about what it takes to keep a high class quality collection of Nishikigoi. Whether these be ordinary pond fish or show stoppers doesn't matter one iota to us. The life of the animal is what we value and hence we take our hobby very seriously. Happy Koi is primarily interested in what it takes to keep Koi in an environment conducive to THEIR long term well being and sadly this may not be in alignment with your short term budgetary constraints (which in every case will end up costing you far more you can possibly imagine). If you do things correctly it is surprising over the life of a Koi pond just what you can spend on it. Over longer time frames the savings can become monstrous. If there were any shortcuts available to Koi keepers we'd be using them ourselves. A Koi pond is a permanent structure, and the only way to change it is with a jack hammer. Since a Koi pond can cost the same as a new kitchen or a modest new car (or even in some cases a not so modest) new car, why on earth would you spend that kind of money without doing your homework properly? We design them and the filtration that goes on them so that the two work seamlessly and properly. The result is a Koi pond conductive to housing world class quality collections of Koi in them. We can and do however work with builders to ensure your Koi pond success. Getting two or three quotes on how to build a Koi pond is a start, but getting pricing on two or three different filtration systems is far more sensible! This site will teach you everything that you need to know about koi fish ponds and keeping koi carp. Between Mark and William we have much hard learned experience in keeping tropical and marine aquariums.
