Koi
« on: August 30, 2017, 04:44:16 PM »




Water change on the garden pond today. Koi are really starting to grow and look nice this year. Planning on digging a new pond in the spring about 5 times this one for them and then turning this current one into a water garden.

Nice colors and patterns on them Steve! Love a nice outdoor water feature. Do you over winter the koi inside then?

Yeah had them in a 55g last year but gonna probably have to pick up a 75g for them now this year. Once the new pond is dug in the spring then I'll just run a deicer next winter, so hopefully this will be the last time I have to bring them inside.
