oh gosh! those fish are truly going to appreciate their new and roomier digs. You can definitely see that they were way to large for that itty bitty pre-formed pond. It's a great example of why koi do not belong in small places!

Bravo on your new pond.

It looks good !!
a bigger pond is a lot easier to take care of then a small one

[mountaindew]

I hope so.It was a lot of sweat and digging to bring this together

[Stansy]

I like that water feature you have there.

[mountaindew]

Thank you very much for all the comments

update 2 months after the build we had a really heavy rainstorm here in florida.A couple of the sides caved in.So we came up with a different idea.After digging and sweating in 101 temps we built walls out of pressure treated wood and reinforced the pond here are some pics so far

Wow sorry to hear that, the soil in florida is pretty sandy, maybe that is why it collapsed.

Glad you were able to get it back up and running, looks like the wood will do the job.

How are your fish?

I only lost one big koi.She jumped out of the pool I had them in
