For any small fish I would put them in a little kids pool. You know those
hard plastic round pools you can buy at Walmart for kids. If your koi aren't
to big they might do alright in one for now, but they do grow fast.
I know one girl had to move 3 koi's of her's and she looked around and got a
big bathtub from a dump, cleanned it good and put hers in there for a month
until she got a new pond dug at her new house.

I have posted before about a pond that I have built that was a little
deeper then 36inches, no fish, I wanted to try and dry run over the summer
and winter without fish to see how things would go.

Well, I'm moving and now I have to take the pond apart and fill in back
in.

But here is the problem, the pond ice went right to the bottom, all 36+
inches.

I'm not sure even 4ft would have solved the problem and that would have
been the desired depth of my area (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)

I will be building another pond at the new house, a little bigger, maybe
300 Gal, this was a small 150Gal, but I'm not sure I want to go 4ft deep,
so if I put a couple fish in the pond, I will have to remove them come
winter.

What can I put them in, if I were to put them in the garage, the water
would get below 50F, but would not freeze I'm sure.

What kind and how large of a container would I need for the 2 koi I
currently have which are in my indoor fish tank at 6.5inches, I would have
to say come next winter they will be atleast 12 inches, too large for my
current fish tank.

Any suggestions would be helpful.
