Koi need LOTS of water! 1,000 gallons to start off... then
100 gallons per koi at a minimum.

Your pond is a goldfish pond.
You'll be able to find very
pretty goldfish that will go nicely in your pond... don't overcrowd
the fish, though. They do breed - you'll be giving away fish
before the summer is out.

Well my back yard is 18 x 22 and my wife doesnt want the pond taking
up the whole yard. I was going to get a 125gal pond I saw at
homedepot and start with that. I live in a town home and really cant
be digging up holes in the yard. I dont think the association would
aprove.

So I saw the 125 gal pond. How many small koi can I start with in
there?
What type of pump would I need?

1.5 above.

need. remember I want one that is already molded.

Also if some one can point me to a site that might have a setup like
the one i want with the FAQs and howto set it all up that would be
great.

Thanks,

Koi need more room, but 4 or 5 goldfish would make nice pets. Common
goldfish/commets grow into nice looking fish, but they are just
goldfish, I like shubunkin. There are also lots of fancy goldfish
with flowing fins and ugly heads, but some people like them.

A small pump that pumps from 100 to 200 gallons per hour will do
nicely and you might want to add a filter hidden in a container, like
a one gallon ice cream container. Don't forget to add some plants
too.

Problem with the in pond filter around the pump is that it has to be
cleaned periodically. Another solution is to add a barrel above the
pond and run the water up to the barrel, filter it there and allow it
spill out a pipe/spillway back down into the pond.

Regards,

Hal
