I am still saving my pennies for a trip to Japan, to see my koi. Nothing much to write at the moment - this entry is more by way of a test, just to make sure that this blog thingie is working ok...
If you can read this, then we can assume that koi blogs are working OK on the koifreaks.com blog spot!
If you would like to start your own blog, just sign-up for your free membership of the koifreaks.com Forums. Click on Blogs, then click on "Create Blog" and start setting up your very own koi blog.
Any problems or issues, please don't hesitate to send me a private message and I will do my very best to get it sorted out.
Happy posting!
Nishiki-goi have long been of great interest to me. When I was living in the UK, I had a rather nice koi pond that I built myself - with one or two particularly good specimens. My proudest koi ever was a beautiful gin-rin showa that I bought from How Kang, in Portsmouth. Anyway, since I moved out to the Philippines several years ago, my own personal koi-keeping has been put on hold and, since I am unlikely to ever own a house with a decent sized garden, it is likely to stay that way. anyway, this doesn't stop me completely...
Although, I don't keep koi myself, I do own one or two nice specimens, which Matsumoto-san of Rishouen Koi Dealer's in Kokura, Japan very kindly takes care of for me. When I can afford the "summer camp" fees, I do occasionally put the odd fish out to a doro-ike (so called "mud pond") for growing-on in the summer - and subsequent showing in the autumn.
