Default how many fish?

According to the rule of thumb bounced around here, you should not have any
Koi in your pond. Unless you plan on doing a lot of intervention!

Just curious, how are your fish doing? And what does your water look like?

Hi

Apon reading your posts about how many fish to have in your pond it got

me
thinking about my pond..

My inherited pond is 2500 litres ( im in the UK) not sure what it is

gallons
.


At present the pond has 8 Kois (average 11- 12 inches) 3 Comets ( approx

6
inches) and 5 baby goldfish (2-3 inches) .

I was wondering if someone could tell me how many fish (koi) should have

as
im not sure how to work this out.

Thanks

Cheryl

LOL

I thought that you might say I had to many but not None!
The fish have been in there a few years now ( by the previous owners) as are
doing just fine. They have a small Fungus infection right now but all seem
happy together.
The water quality is fine too, the water became rather green a while ago but
the new UV filter is sorting that out well.

I say if they are fine for five years, then they should continue to be fine!

You must have an excellent filtration system!
