Brevity snip

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.

Or by extrapolation, feeding inapropriate foods meant to fatten fish for
the platter to sell to unsuspecting Tennesee rubes. It's unhealthy.

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.
