Well, I wasn’t expecting to get attacked, at least, not until I actually stated an opinion.
The point of the question is simple and obvious in light of the fact that supporting the “growth of the Koi hobby” is part of the AKCA mission statement. It’s not a phrase I made up. The AKCA has listed a few ways it intends to accomplish that. ZNA America states that “Our goal is to spread the hobby of Koi keeping and to improve the knowledge of husbandry techniques and the appreciation of Nishikigoi as living art.”
How can we spread and support the growth of the hobby of Koi keeping? Are there ways to spread and grow the hobby that chat boards in particular can do?
