I have learned more from koi fourms and I have been into fish since I was ten years old. I have only been in the koi forum for a little over a year and it is llike being a member of a koi club, you meet tons of people who are willing to teach you all you need to know about the hobby, and you meet them all over the world. Now I have downloaded Skype and talking to friends all over the world, just like I am talking on the phone with them, very good thing. I think internet is the tops when it comes to learning.
