my pet koi fish has passed away this winter

[CometKeith]

Hi Blackdog. I'm sorry about your fish. We all get very attached to our fish.Just wondering how big the pond is. If it is under 1000 gallons you might want to consider goldfish instead.

i thinking about a pond i going to stay with the one koi fish by its self in the tank and see how big i can get then do the pond outside

 

[Blackdog128]

oh i can keep a koi in my tank i done it before i just have to keep up on the water changes and keep the filters cleaned out every few weeks and feed them right and by the time i get them big to move i will have the pond all done i hope just like i did with my koi fish who died R.I.P MY KOI U ARE ALWAYS WILL BE MISSED

Blackdog I am sorry about your Koi, bigger and deeper should help a lot.

It is good to see another Utahan on here I am in Midvale UT but have property in west Iron County and travel through Beaver all the time. My sister and family live in the valley off the Enoch exit.

In case you all don't know, Beaver was rated as having the best water in the US

Blackdog Iheard you said tank ?
Do you mean Aquarium and if so how many gallons is it and what filtration do you have on it

I used to keep mine indoors and provided they are properly filtrated U.V-C etc, then you can keep indoors provided you keep a close eye on things and I mean a close eye as things can and do go wrong .
I've attached two photos of our old way of doing things .
