Must be quite a job wrangling them all up and into the inside pond. How long does the whole thing take? They will be nice and cozy all tucked into their nice warm indoor pond...........lucky them when some others have to stay out all year in the freeze. Would they be able to make it outside all year in your pond or is it just not deep enough?

j.w...its not as much trouble as you might think, getting them inside. i pump alot of the water into the basement pond and finish draining it out in the yard..as the water level gets lower, their ease of capture increases proportionately. i dont know if the big guys would make it or not but theres been some young ones( goldies) left outside ..no bubbler even and theyve been alright....i'd bring them in anyways!
addy...i keep the water temps just under 60* so theres minimal evaporation...but its way better than mid 30s i guess!

I can't even imagine trying to catch mine, they are on their own over winter. But will keep a hole in the ice this year.

Mark how do you keep the water at 60 degrees?

it just kind of stays about 58*, the cold concrete floor, waterchanges (water is quite cold) , and i shut the heat vents down in the basement.. but the water heater is 10 ft from pond if needed as well. i rarely have to worry about warming tho. i do a 50 gal waterchange every 4 days...

Koiguy, I know you said that was the last video for the year, but I can't see the one I like....:-( I think it's pattern may be changing but it was hard to see from the glare. One more video before you move them please that has less glare. Wow they are growing fast! some have gotten some really nice patterns.
