Koi Pond
 

Anyone have a Koi Pond up and running?
I'm itching to get one started.
Thanks..... Jim

Too bad, you are 3 years too late. A neighbor of ours was moving and was desperate to give the whole set up to a new home for free. Finally he sold the fish and dumped the pond shell, pumps, rocks, and plants. He was trying to sell the home and the pond was a big detraction because no one wanted the pond. It was a wonderful and relaxing display.
A note of caution. You will probably have to build your pond inside a caged/screened patio. Otherwise the raccoons, coyotes, and stray cats will get the fish.

Don't forget the birds too! They love those plump fish.

Did you say
 

GATORS? They eat what they can find.:mmmm:

Sorry I forgot about the gators. Right now I'm up North looking out the window watching a fat squirrel and 2 crows plunder the bird feeder and a doe and her yearling eating up the last of the few leaves left on the bushes. At least it is 34 degrees!

We have had one for 8 years. Have lost 2 fish to unknown predators. There is a net over the pond that has kept the blue herons away. The pond is dug about 3 1/2' deep with a liner and once the water is in balance there is little maintenance. We are about 150 yards from a preserve area that has all the critter's but they have not been a bother.

We have a koi pond in front of our house with a waterfall. We have 10 large koi and 2 small koi. We have not lost a single fish.If you would like to see our pond PM me and I'll give you directions to our house.
