Can you explain in more detail,why? I have seen lots of ponds with koi
and GF. They are not breeding for sale, just for the pleasure of seeing
different types of fish.

In certain incidences it can be disastrous. GF are always sexually on,
whereas koi are twice a year at most. GF males aren't always understanding
and will still harass the female koi even when she has no eggs to give.
IME, it is comet GF, not the fancier varieties that are the biggest
problem. ~ jan
