As an active member of the Las Vegas Koi Club, I can tell you there is on going debate, discussion and passionate sides being drawn in the world of koi regarding the proper building of koi ponds vs. fish and garden ponds. Having attended many conferences, koi shows, seminars, wet labs and rescuing countless koi here in Las Vegas from “sick” ponds the need for education at the very beginning of a pond project has become critical both to the hobbyist and the professional installer.
