| I agree, that survival is the only reason for the bandaid approach and emergency intervention. A focus on the horses behind the cart, so to speak.
But the fish are gone now. Maybe it is time to enlighten a water gardener, and at least spell out the futility of placing too many koi in a water garden setting- especially if they have done Ok to a point, and are now bigger. From there understanding could lead to a big picture understanding of proper koi keeping and a proper fundamental philosophy.
Water gardeners biggest hurdle is to see emergency remedies and 'patches' to a system as just a management of symptoms. And not a technique for true koi keeping.
I know you agree. So we somehow have to be patient but constantly offer ' the better way' JR |
