Koi Herder
Here is my pond as it sits today:
The bottom 12" of the entire pond will be under the ground when I grade my backyard. I have added a gravel garden to the left of the falls that is feed with a 1" pipe with holes in it under the gravel. I haven't finished the small upper pond to the right yet. I haven't quit figured out how I want to finish it. I have 11 small koi in it and 1 7-8 inch goldfish. I upgraded my filter a little while back from a 16 gallon skippy to a 55 gallon one. The 16 was keeping everthing crystal clear with 6 small koi and the one goldfish but I wanted to be able to overstock it and allow for the fish to still get a little bigger without any conserns about water quality. I plan to buy a house with land fairly soon so I will be taking the fish with and building something on a whole new level at that point. In the mean time I am just trying to get the fish a little more friendly.
