Beautiful Pond ... seeing this can melt your stress away ... love it ... I have a Beautiful Koi That I purchased from a fish store when he or she was only 3 inches long ... This Beautiful Koi is now about 18 inches long and lives in a 75 Gal. aquarium with large Goldfish ... He is going to out growing this aquarium soon ... I will need something larger for him ...

Jason Cooke - 7 years ago

that is awesome but why didn't you go 3 feet. do some of the fish come close to hitting bottom.second you should have shown what you use for your filtration.

Abhinav Srivastava - 7 years ago

Your fish are barely living, not enjoying as they need at least 4 to 6 feet deep ponds. Our pond is 2 feet, 4 feet and in some areas 6 feet deep, thats what keeps them happy. They need to swim vertically as well as horizontally.

"omaiga ze musik iz chainiz" Well, the japanese were the ones to borrow the whole concept of zen gardens from China during the Asuka period. Or are you wildly offended because you thought they invented it? Not to mention that this one is located in New Jersey, so why aren't they playing songs from Kool & The Gang in the background? I swear you guys...

Annie Feng - 8 years ago

The song in the background is Chinese.... just saying....

Thank you for sharing. It's great that you advise other's to learn proper methods and care. Too many people treat aquatic life as dosposable. Your care is obvious. We always advise people go bigger and deeper whenever possible:). Best to all. Eden Wildlife Ca. ♡=^..^=♡

JTangReef - 7 years ago

Eileen Yeung Well, I guess who ever put this video together can't tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese. lol

Eileen Yeung - 9 years ago

It is disappointing to hear the Chinese instrumental as the background music in this video. There is no relationship visually or culturally in this video to link this with Chinese music. This fish pond, garden decoration is unmistakably Japanese Just make me feel uncomfortable to notice the music.

I have little to no pond smarts... 15 years ago I was gifted a rigid pond liner (120g) and I drug that liner around for the next 3 years hoping I could use it. My friends thought I was a nut for keeping it but it seems to have paid off! I put it in the ground over a decade ago and it seems fine. I have comet goldfish in it and zero filtration. the pond has a water change 20% every month or so (just tap water with conditioner) but it isn't the koi mecca I want. the goldfish grow to about 7 inches and then are eaten by our local racoons! I can't make the investment of true koi for fear they will b eaten as well. help if u can man! I live in Southern California ...TY!

stephanie copenhaver - 9 years ago

+Aaron criddle I have done just that (chickenwire) and sunk it to just 1/8" from the surface. It is still slightly visible but the fish can still feed and mouth the air. So far they are all here =) I do wonder what to do if they grow too big, I guess I'll get a larger mesh! ty

stephanie copenhaver - 9 years ago

ty will try!

Aaron criddle - 9 years ago

All u need to do is put a net over the pond. Yh it may look ugly but the fish are safe. My 1/2 sisters grandad has a pond but he put a net over it and it looks ok but u no the fish r safe

Hello Tom,

this is one of the beautifulest and nicest garden i have ever seen before. i love your video - an i agree with you completly. one of the important things of an real koi hobbyst should be a microskope. it is not very difficult, to use an microskope - but it helps so much to keep koi alive!
Thank´s for this nice video!

Nice video, I got some useful information.
I have 6 baby koi's and one of them seems to scratch itself at the bottom, it must be a parasite then. So how do we deal with parasites please. ???
Pls. help. anyone.
I have heard that if not taken cared of, they could suck the living daylights out of your fish.

how did you keep the kois from eating the water lilies (or other plants)?

With Koys All you do is let them feed quite a bit more than what you usually do right before winter and then during winter do not feed them at all because they need heat to be a will to digest their food and just place A few small heaters and a few floating balls to keep some of the water unfrozen

Gean Sangineto - 10 years ago

I am so impressed with this design. I am so hooked on these interesting fish. I live in Jersey and started collecting in 2012. I would like to learn so much more. I've tried to find people or clubs nearby that are dedicated to these jewels. I have two ponds, 7,000 gallon and a smaller 300 gallon. Hopefully this summer I will be adding another 1,000 gallon pond. Where in Jersey are you located? Thank you for taking the time to give advice. I'm sure it has helped save many koi.

Darren Lucas - 10 years ago

smokeypitbull - 10 years ago

Don't even need a heater. As long as you a have a air stone on a good pump to move the water when it breaks the surface. . Water that is moving will not freeze. .

simpsonlordguy - 10 years ago

it is cold in NJ, he for sure cannot get away with just using a surface heater. I am guessing that his pond is heated.

zs k - 10 years ago

still just have a floating surface heater i think, ice gets real thick in ND also, but good point because i have never been around any ponds up here that shallow.

zs k - 10 years ago

Leaves them in with a surface heater I assume

kevin - 10 years ago

Koi and goldfish's hometown is China, Chinese people develop the koi and goldfish in the song dynasty in 900 years ago, all the Japanese and Korean traditional culture, including traditional architecture, traditional medicine, clothes, food, and tools including the samurai sword, all was the invention of the Chinese people, they learned from tang dynasty and song dynasty of China, katana was a copy of tang dynasty sword!

hans trennod - 11 years ago

Well, I like your Pond, you must live in a warm State because it is just 18 inches deep. I live in Germany and the Koi stay out in the hard Winter so I need a depth of 5 feet to get them through the winter. What do you think about this? Chris from Bavaria, Germany!

Nice pond i recently build my own is about 3k gallons ,I will get some koi soon I want the beneficial bacteria to settle down first and if course i see that you have no rocks in the bottom of the pond which is the way to raise koi i hear i took my rocks after so much sludge settle under them which that will eventually cause diseases on koi,nice pond

Skaldi3 - 11 years ago

In my backyard we have a wood, and a tiny trickle of a stream it's a tributary that leads directly into a swamp, and later into a local canal. I was thinking of perhaps changing it up and putting in a waterfall and koi pond between where it streams in and where it streams out, with a self-sustained solar pump. I was reading about naturally drawing nitrogenated water up to garden beds 5 stories above this little area which I would love to do.

The Koi eat algae and the algae can provide oxygen for the fish so they aren't a problem.

I loved your pond.. I have a similar setting in Miami , FL .. a Japanese friend told me that in Japanese people has a name for Non-japanese people that love the japanese culture. such as ourself. I was concern about your dept. 18", and predators, bu i am sure that has been taken care of . my pond is 3.5' deep. to prevent birds and raccoons. to attack my fish.. my fish comes to me for feeding time, but i still haven't been able to train them to eat out of my hand.

Petrodvoretz - 12 years ago

Also, one last question How do you get ready for winter ? Do you bring your fish in ? 18 inches don't freeze ? Do you use deicers or do you keep the constant move of the streams ? It's so hard to figure out what to do in case of power outage (you must have a generator). Anyway really this is a wonderful job

Petrodvoretz - 12 years ago

Sir your yard is my dream... I can hear me speak through you... haha naturally Feng Shui sensitive people... Also I wanted to as... how often do you have to add water ? I have a beautiful waterfall but I lose water constantly... with the streams that you have I m really wondering about the loss of water.

@danialglover By that I mean, I'm American, but I don't find any fish nearly as beautiful as Koi, that would look nice in my pond. Bluegill and Minnow are great, but I wouldn't choose them over Koi any day of the week. I don't care what part of the world the fish came from, as long as they look great.

Danial Glover - 13 years ago

@cchanderson What does being American have anything to do with buying Native fish. Whatever fish looks good in a pond. I would never buy a Bluegill or Minnows for my pond, and completely glad that I chose Koi.

Darren Lucas - 13 years ago

This pond is heated to 50 degrees all winter long so freezing is not an issue
