"I enjoyed and appreciated this course. I realize now that my pond and my priorities are not what a Koi owner needs to be for them to thrive. I will instead opt for goldfish this spring in my new pond. It is not deep enough (3') for Koi to "thrive". This course made me think more responsibly about the fish I will choose and I am now excited and better informed to have a pond (900 gallons) that will contain healthy, "thriving" and compatible goldfish.


Thank you,
Merilyn"
