Sorry to be the first to put a downer on things. It’s a nice looking pond, but it needs to be at least 4 feet deep for koi, to allow for proper muscle development. It’s also massively overstocked.
I don't keep fish, I keep water. Water keeps fish.

..... and overstocking is a personal choice. If it's well filtered and the water quality is good then it's not a problem. I accept I won't get the biggest koi but some are 60cm plus! My ultimate goal is to reduce the stock to 10-12 bigger higher quality koi!

I only view this after @fluxtor answered you but on first view the picture I thought the same.black ghost wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 23:25 pmOops. Ok. It looked only ‘floor deep’ from the picture. A reflection of the rug, it seems.

I'm presuming it's taken from an upstairs window, and I'm struggling to see a rug, just a gravel path??
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it!
Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!
