Alternative title : Not all Koi are valuable

One of the most common questions asked on this site is that posed in the title. People seem to have an assumption that all koi are valuable - and while the value of the life of a fish as a pet can never and should never be discounted or trivialised, some Koi do have a high financial value; but the vast majority do not.

Buying and selling of fish

The other day I received and e-mail from a young lady called Haley Sloman who we know through our constant use of our local tropical Fish outlet here in Plymouth.

Over the years Val and I have amassed quite a library of Koi related books and have written a list to help both the Newcomer to the hobby and those with greater experiance, when choosing Koi books, we have left out the Author where ever possible only leaving it in when there is no ISBN Number to be found, and also adding comments to each book

• Mini Encyclopaedia (Keeping Koi) ISBN 1842861069. ( An Informative little Book).
• Goldfish and Koi in your home ISBN 0866220410. ( More our style of Koi Keeping)

We are pleased to announce that the winner of the 2007 Shingoi BKKS National show 2007 is this stunning Kohaku:
