Club Member Benefits

A Shared Knowledge Base

Network with seasoned Koi Collectors for advice on pond construction, health and "Do It Yourself" projects. The membership is money well spent. Chances are there is another member of the club that can answer your questions or help with an issue. Learn before you ever build, what to avoid, what to include and how to tell if your builder even knows what it takes to keep Koi. Koi are amazing animals - attend the next show and you will be hooked.
