Unfortunately, I have lost the majority of my koi. I am a beginner at this, so I don't really know what's wrong. I want to keep at it, but I don't want to kill any more fish, either. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Thu, 25 Oct 2007 15:10:39 -0400 http://www.finvillage.com/rss/link_forum/id_2/ http://www.finvillage.com/rss/link_forum/id_2/ Hi! I am interested in starting a salt water tank. But, I don't want what happened to my koi to happen to my saltwater fish (see the goldfish/koi topic for more on that tragedy)! What are some basics of owning a saltwater tank that will keep the fish happy and healthy?

I love really bright fish, so the brighter the better! I'd love to have some combinations whose colors really bounce off of each other and make the other fish's color "pop."
