15 Gallon Outdoor container pond needs Filter solution (not diy)

[Jewel]

Hello,
I built a pond using a rubber container for feeding horses. It is black and rubber and holds 15 gallons of water. I have koi in the pond, and some water plants. The solar air stone is not enough to keep it clear and fresh. I need a filter solution, but all the ones I find are for big ponds, medium ponds. My pond is a 1 foot deep, those filters are too lard to submerge without taking up all the space. Please help

@Jewel
Your koi must be tiny right now but they will grow huge so you better start digging for a way bigger pond for them soon.

Koi can grow to be 18" or larger in a year! your container is not suitable for koi.

Hello and welcome!

Am I reading this right? Koi in a 15 gallon pond? Sure it’s not a goldfish?

Maybe, for something that small, a pump and filter designed for an aquarium would work.

Welcome to the forum! Are you sure it is only 15-gallons? Just thinking, sort of small for horses. Kind of 'gulp' size for a horse!
what are the dimensions of the container? Height, length and width. How many fish do you have in the container and what size are the fish? Again, welcome!

All negative responses. Is this the GOP thread? Thanks for nothing folks!! Wasted my time here!! I came looking for solutions. I could have minnows In there, should not be about critiquing. Wow!!

Not sure a response would change your sour attitude. Seems you would rather poke fun and be hurtful. Quite consistent with the USA attitudes. I put the size already. Thanks.

Thanks for the help you may exit now.

Sorry you are offended. You asked for a filter for a 15 gallon bucket with koi. Maybe you are new to fish keeping. We are a friendly and helpful bunch here. Your situation is impossible for the fish you are keeping. The suggestion of an aquarium pump and filter will work for the size container you have but you need to rethink the type of fish. Exiting now- good luck!

Again, nothing helpful, just more criticism. Let’s pretend they are guppies. please reframe from wasting my time. I have had tanks Of many sizes, you name it. Why is it so important to assume what I am successful at? Again, no one here seems qualified to answer the question.
