Best beginner book for new koi pond owner

zoenipp
17 years ago

We are building a new home and have had our landscaper install a very nice koi pond on our patio. I have never had a pond before; I kept a freshwater aquarium for years and know how important it is to do your research beforehand to avoid/prevent problems later. I am wondering if anyone has suggestions for really good books for beginners on the subject?
