<p>We&#8217;d like to know what kind of fish can be mixed with the koi, if any (we&#8217;d like variety), or if we can&#8217;t mix other types with koi, what other types of fish thrive well in a koi pond environment?<br/><br/>Deana</div>

<div><em><strong>princess consuela banana hammock</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>We have a medium sized koi pond in our backyard, and I cannot seem to figure out whether the water is leaking out somewhere or it&#8217;s just evaporating. </p>
<p>There are some times where it stays level for a couple weeks. Sometimes, like yesterday, it goes down really fast. It&#8217;s around 80 where I live. </p>
<p>Also, if it does evaporate, does it happen on dry days or humid days?</p>
<p>Would pouring water into the pond work, and what kind of water (possibly dechlorinated?) would it have to be?</p>
<p>Thanks!<br/><br/>Doll</div>
