If there are no adults in the pool, they would likely venture out into
open
water. If adults are in the pool, they will stay in a sheltered area
until they
get much larger. I'm not saying that it isn't possible for them to get
caught in
a filter, but if you arrange things in the pond in a way that keeps them
away
from that filter, you shouldn't have any problems. My pre-filter is far
away
from the sheltered areas, so I've never seen any fry get in it.
=========================
The koi fry are growing much faster than the GF fry. There have been no
more fry deaths since the weather settled and the water temps are more
stable. I still don't have the room to raise them all unless I either
install another pond (not gonna happen) or I buy more kiddy pools.
