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?

thinking of getting one of those hard liners and building a raised koi
poind. I want to get at least 3 - 5 koi what size of a liner do i
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,
