Does anyone else think that 2 koi and 8 goldfish in 2 half barrels is a
lot of fish per volume? I would think they are jumping out because they
don't have enough territory and are chasing one another. The only thing
I have been able to keep safely in my vase water garden which is about
the same size as a half barrel liner are rosie reds.


Where in the world did you get that idea??? I have 2 gambusia, 4 white
clouds, and 2 shubunkans in THREE half barrels connected by spillways and
well filtered.

So you have six fish in 3 barrels - 2 fish per barrel vs 5 per barrel with 2
of them being Koi....... stikes me as a tad different.
