Welcome to Koiknowledge, free knowledge about koi.
The basics the koihobbyist wants to know, or should know.
(airlift/filter calculation/plantfilter/potassium permanganate/quarantine/How to begin/pond desing/KHV/ biological balance)
Want to learn more about airlift? Calculate how big your filter must be? Or do you know what is meant by the water quality values? Do you want to continue to be challenged and think about your own filter? Do you know, for instance, how water moves through your filter material? What is KHV and why is it a threat? How do I use Potassiumpermanganate without going blind?
My site combines a summary of koi knowledge from many different sites for the novice koihobbyist to quickly learn a lot at the start.
Ultimately, the goal is for more people to keep koi healthy the right way and this will get the koi hobby to an even higher level.
I am a Dutch enthusiast, active in the hobby for a few years now, gathering knowledge for myself and to help people with questions on koiforums.
The same questions however are repeated over and over and I could not find 1 site with the knowledge bundeld together so I decided to make it myself.
There are tremendously good and informative web sites about various topics from which I put down an introductory summary. The direct link is added as much as possible if you want to know more details.
Most info on this site comes from books, scientific articles and other sites, I always mention the source as much as possible of course.
Good luck with finding your answers, all the info can be found within 4 clicks.
want to know more? download the free NVN Koi app, which will help all Koi hobbyists from starter to experienced.
