This Summer I’ve been thinking about making a koi pond for the first time in my backward. I’m worried about things like koi disease (koi pox), pond design, predators, pond construction and which liners are best. I need a site or product that has everything listed as one guide.

My husband and I would love to build a koi pond next year and I am just full of questions!

I keep reading about the noticeable increase in energy bills but haven’t found any estimates.

I suppose it would be important to ask what size your pond is and how often you have to use the heater as well…?

Thank you for any information you can give me!

My girlfriend and I are looking to build a koi pond in our yard after we get our own place, so we’re planning all of this stuff out ahead of time, so everything goes over as smooth as possible.

We’d like to know what kind of fish can be mixed with the koi, if any (we’d like variety), or if we can’t mix other types with koi, what other types of fish thrive well in a koi pond environment?

We’re getting a Koi Pond soon, and I have a Pleco. It has no tank mates because my goldfish died. But I’m wondering if it would be ok to stick it in a Koi Pond. The pond isn’t built yet and we’re still planning it out.

A stone!?! asked:


I want to build a pond. I was thinking of using the method where you buy th already completed pond mould and just install it. The problem is I want it to be 3×3x1m. Is this the cheapest easiest, best way of installing a pond. Do you think I should rather use a liner or fiberglass paint. Please suggest the best way. How much do you think would the finished mould cost if it is available. I want to put a silver aro in

V dawg asked:


ok, so i am gonna move in about 3-6 months, and i want to get a plan made for a pond in my new house. so, here are my questions:

1. can i make a pond by spray-painting a non-blow-up kiddie pool (WHERE DO I BUY THESE??? HOW EXPENSIVE???) black, putting it into the ground?
2. would the black attract to much heat for a goldfish pond?
3. How can i make it pretty? (plants, rocks, etc.)
4. what equiptment do i need?
5. can the equiptment be put into my 40 gallon pond now, and then be put into this “kiddie” pond?
6. i have a pump now, but it circulates water from the bottom into the waterfal attatched to my pond. can it be used for a pump to a filter?
7. Have any ideas of yur own for my new pond? Any extra goldfish pond info in general??? THX!!!!
8. how many fish would be able to go into this “kiddie pond” (and for them not to be stunted)???

p.s. i would like this to be as CHEAP i possible, UNDER 70$ preferably, UNDER 100$
if possible, could lu plz respond in correspondance to the numbers?

Jess asked:


I had 12 goldfish in an outdoor pond for about the last 5 or 6 years and have never had a problem, all of a sudden they have started dying. They begin with bulging eyes and appear bloated around the belly and then die within a day. About a month ago we resurfaced the pond with a pond paint that is supposed to be safe for fish, is this a disease or could it be a problem with their new environment?

Does anyone know how much electricity the pond pump pulls? Will it make a major impact on our electricity bill if we leave it on always?
