Steve Childers' talk on creating proper currents in a koi pond is a great one if you've not heard it. Or, JR (on most anything)because he has great powerpoint photos to illustrate everything he says.

I would like to have a lecture with photos (if not live fish)on the different types of Hi and Hi development from tosai to maturity. Now, who would be brave enough to give the talk????

[Bob Winkler]

Ray Jordan's talk on the Development and history of Koi is pretty good...

[RobR]

Mat McCann gave a pretty good one last year about sanke and matsonosuke bloodlines and development.

JR talking about skin quality was up there.

ditto Matt McCann
Brett Rowley on how "Koi Farmers" think
and the neaves guy over In Britain gave a good talk on Koi husbandry

Seminar? Dont care much for them....They should rank seminars by level and content of what is being learned. What I find is "Newbies" coming out even more confused. Most seminars nowadays are tended more towards new hobbyist. Mr. Fujita had some interesting seminars and I think for one to be successful there should be live examples to best get ones opinion across.

love to see Grant Fujita talking about "tategoi selection..." it is good for newbie as well as koikichi folks.....

I think the best seminars are after the shows, with the guys out drinking. You will learn more in a hour from these guys then you will ever learn at a seminar.

Oh, one more... How about a seminar regarding KHV virus and how deadly this virus is......

I think no koi show ever do this before. Perhaps, All-Bay April 1 Koi Show shall be the first.... If Larry wants to do this. I can check with my koi buddy, Dr. Sanjiv Kapoor to do a seminar for KHV virus. Sanjiv is an AKCA Koi Health Advisor. I am sure he will be happy to cover this upon request.
