I would like to build an above ground koi pond in the spring, 12' x 6' x 3' deep. With proper setup, equipment (De-icer) and maintanance, do the Koi stay in the pond all winter or do they get moved indoors? I have a 60 salt and 40 fresh in the house and would like to give a pond a shot.
Thanks

Hi,

I put in a pond in last spring using a Savio Living Ponds kit. 12'x9'x38". It did run into a few bucks, but we enjoy it. Right now I just have an air pump keeping a hole in the ice open. So far so good. I will post a pic later.

above ground koi pond

I'd suggest that you situate as much as possible below ground...
3 feet down the ground is always 50 degrres F...
above ground the temp is whatever your thermometer says.

Hi,

I agree with Ned on putting it below surface. It will look more natural.
