Default Koi Breeding Idear

OK, so I was thinking...Jim made the interesting point that with my pond
full of minnows, I probably have slim to no chance of my Koi/Goldfish from
pulling off a spawning. So I was thinking, what if I moved some Koi to the
VF? It's shallow, only 18 inches deep or so. I was thinking they could spawn
in the VF, and then I'll move them back...and...uh...this is just
stupid...forget it.

I think your koi, if they decided to spawn, would tear up
your veggie filter in short order. If they decided they
didn't like the veggie filter, it's very possible that they
would jump.
I must say that my fish have spawned with a large number of
rosie reds in the same pond. True, I don't have a hugh
number of survivors but I do have more than I want every year.
