I've been keeping fish for over twenty years, but my interest began much earlier than that. Like many hobbyists, it started with a small aquarium as a child before progressing to my first pond and, eventually, the koi pond I'd always dreamed of building.

​

Over the years I've experienced both the rewards and the frustrations that come with keeping koi. I've made mistakes, received poor advice, battled disease and experienced the heartbreak of losing fish. Those challenges taught me an important lesson: successful koi keeping starts with understanding the pond as a whole. Water quality, filtration, nutrition and fish health all work together, and there are rarely quick fixes.

​

Wanting to better understand the science behind the hobby, I invested heavily in my own education. I trained in advanced koi health, parasite diagnosis and microscopic examination before completing the internationally recognised Koi Organisation International Scholarship Programme, becoming a Certified Koi Keeper. I have also completed advanced studies in koi nutrition and beneficial bacteria, allowing me to offer practical, evidence-based advice rather than guesswork.

​

Today, Viking Fish Health exists for one simple reason: to help other koi keepers.

Whether you're concerned about a sick fish, struggling with water quality, planning a new pond or simply want an experienced second opinion, my aim is to provide honest, independent advice that's tailored to your pond and your fish.

​

I don't believe in unnecessary treatments or overcomplicating problems. Every pond is different, and every recommendation is based on careful assessment, practical experience and putting the welfare of your koi first.

​

If I can help you avoid the mistakes I made during my own journey and give you confidence in caring for your koi, then I've achieved exactly what I set out to do.
