a good portion of my pondsat the 24 to 26" level and i also keep koi...no problems...your concern may be winters if the pond is going to freeze over, how deep will it freeze? but an airline and pump usually suffice to keep a hole in the ice for gas exchange. or you do as i do andwinter your fish indoors...i have a pond in the basement for winter....

i like having the basement pond...i enjoy my guys year round! and none of that winter stress! did you watch the video, "fish video, what else"?...its the basement pond

My pond only 30" deep and my Koi are thriving. I do wish I had gone deeper but I would have needed dynamite to do it. I think you'll be fine just keep some circulation going during the cold months.

where is the video, could you send a link?

[koiguy1969]

go to my first post, and click the green writing that says fish video what else? anytime you see green writing it is a link on this site.
