What it takes to keep koi well: pond size, depth, filtration, feeding and the realistic costs of ownership.
Koi are among the most rewarding pond fish. They live for decades, recognize their owner and come to the edge to be fed. They are also big, hungry fish that make a lot of waste, and they need a pond built around them.
Plan for the fish they will become, not the small ones you buy. A few koi grow quickly to a foot or more, and a pond that is fine for juveniles may be cramped within two years. Depth, volume and filtration matter more than any decoration.
Bigger and deeper is better.
Handle heavy waste loads.
Oxygen for big fish.
Steep sides and netting options.
The right food by season.
Protect the fish you already have.
