What I personally continue to find ever challenging is keeping great koi
looking great in "CEMENT CLOSED LOOP PONDS". I now know that this goal is
and will continue to be something to strive for on a regular basis.

Excellent article on why *overfeeding* is so dangerous. Also, the fish in
the study, aside from being so overfed they were lethargic, didn't have a 4
or 5 month winter fast. Not that that would have done them much good after
being stuffed to the gills (no pun intended) for months.

I don't think many of us have these "Cement closed loop ponds" or the
"cement flow-through ponds" either.
