I have a small goldfish pond installed by a landscaper. Can I introduce koi into my pond?
It seems that any pond that someone puts koi into ends up being called a koi pond. However, koi require a bigger area to swim in, more depth and much more effective filtration than the average goldfish pond has. While koi may be able to survive in small and shallow rock and gravel filled ponds, it does not mean that they will thrive. Furthermore, koi will quickly outgrow a small goldfish pond and may suffer injuries from an improper habitat.

- During night, the lights in the pond turn on and the koi/goldfish swim with the other goldfish, just as actively. I was wondering, why do the koi/ goldfish hybrids refuse to swim during the day?
