Koi with Goldfish

It looks like the Pond expansion will be a GO in the spring. So I would like
to add some Koi to the herd.

I know I'll lose some of the GF Fry to the Koi, but will the Koi bother the
older GF? The older GF are 3+ inches and the Koi will likely be around 6+
inches. There will likely be a few more 1" GF in the spring too.

TIA

My koi do not eat fry, either their own or the goldfish fry.

I find they exist fine together. Generally the GF breed too fast anyway, so
losing a few to koi isn't an issue for me.

Koi won't bother the fry.... goldfish are more aggressive eaters of eggs &
fry than Koi, ime. ~ jan
