Default koi and plants? depends on the pond size.... and the koi's diet...

-- if Koi are kept in a good environment they can grow to 2 ft in the
first year or two then growth slows after several more years they
can get to 3 ft

I recently sold in mid-June 2 butterfly koi that were about 20 inches and
5-6 years old. They went to a much bigger pond, I saw them yesterday and
they've not only added girth, but grown 4 more inches! So much for slowing
growth after age 3. I guess as the Subject says, "depends on the pond
size... and diet.... ~ jan
