Steve Meyer’s “Ponds and Pond Fish” column was in the first issue of Aquarium Fish Magazine (Sept/Oct 1988) and continued until January 2006. Steve was quite knowledgeable about ponds, koi and goldfish, and was able to explain these sometimes complex topics in a way that was easy to understand for both pondkeepers and aquarists. His monthly columns — along with many feature articles in Aquarium Fish Magazine, Aquarium USA and Ponds Magazine — were filled with valuable information about all aspects of ponds and koi, and his advice about goldfish (in ponds and aquariums) placed the welfare of the fish ahead of everything else.
