About the Piedmont Koi and Watergarden Society |
|
Saturday, 12 June 2004 |
After much conversation about koi, goldfish, watergardens, societies, fellowships, associations, and clubs, the Piedmont Koi and Watergarden Society came into being on May 1, 1992. At our first meeting, we agreed that our primary purpose would be fun and fellowship, and learning centered around everything mentioned above. The bi-laws state our purpose under section B -"to promote, create and enlarge the hobby of keeping, breeding, appreciating and exhibiting Koi; to disseminate information about the above to the membership; to engage in educational and social activities related to our purpose and to acquire such property as may be necessary for any or all of the ongoing purposes.
The Piedmont Koi & Watergarden Society meets monthly at members homes and presents a variety of topics ranging from koi keeping to watergardening. Visitors to the Charlotte, NC area are welcome to attend.

Koi are called 'living jewels' thanks to their fantastic colour schemes.
Koi are directly related to carp - they are the same species. Koi are selectively bred carp from a natural anomaly first discovered and developed in Japan, from where all things Koi emanate. The Japanese are described by many as the best breeders of Koi in the world by a substantial margin.

Testing Koi pond water quality is a science in its own right. As always I am amazed at how often professionals get this wrong and wonder at the results.
Testing is a scientific procedure and should be approached as such. You have to take it seriously if you want serious and meaningful results. This means starting off with a good quality test kit that can accurately measure what it is you are testing for under the conditions that you have present at the time.
