Can I keep koi in my small goldfish pond?
Koi do not limit their growth to the size of the pond in the manner that goldfish will; they can reach 18″ – 24″ within five years. We recommend that koi ponds have at least 1,000 gallons of water with an area being at least 2 ½ to 3 feet deep (zone 7 – deeper in colder climates). An external filter is essential when keeping koi. We have information tables that can help you determine the best filtration system for your pond.
