About Hugo J. Smal
KoiTalk is founded and curated by Hugo J. Smal.
Hugo is the former publisher and editor of De Watertuin, a full-colour water garden and koi magazine with a circulation of approximately 40,000 copies over a publishing history of around twelve years.
KoiTalk continues that tradition in digital form: practical, trustworthy, independent koi knowledge for hobbyists who care about their fish, ponds, and long-term pond health.
The goal is simple: clear guidance without hype, confusion, or low-quality recycled advice.
