Hi everyone, and welcome to our brand-new site. I hope you enjoy having a look around – and if you've got any comments or ideas then don't hesitate to contact us as we'd love to hear them.

You'll find a lot more content on this new site than before. For one thing, newcomers to the hobby can take advantage of our massive Getting started section. This section has been written specifically for the forum by some of the best experts in the industry, so make sure you use it to kick off this fantastic hobby.

There's also this blog section, which will develop as the site goes on. As well as hearing from the Koi team, we'll also be featuring expert blogs so that you can keep ahead of what's going on in the industry. You can also read up on some of the most recent articles from the magazine in the How to section, submit your Q&As and search for your local Koi club.

We've got some great ideas for this site in the future, too, which will take us a step closer to becoming the best, most useful Koi site on the internet.

I like the site a lot – it's much more practical, a lot easier to navigate and crammed with information. I'm sure you'll feel the same way!
