Default How many KOI to add at once?

How many 3" KOI can I add to a 1000 gallon pond at once? This is a new pond

I do not want to shock the level in the water by adding too many at once?

Thanks!


It is suggested that you add 2 fish at a time, wait two
weeks and then add another 2 fish. But the latest info
is that you should have 1000 gallons for the first koi and
another 100 gallon per each additional fish.
Also another bit of info - the fish should be held in
quarantine so that you know they are healthy before you
add them to your pond. It's much easier to treat a
quarantine tank that to treat an entire pond.
