Realistically, you could raise Koi in your kitchen sink, if you kept the water clean and free of toxins. The larger bodies of water that we discuss for Koi, a la the 1000+100 gallon rule, is to allow for buffering and chemistry swings. A spawning's worth of Ammonia is much more toxic to a fish 500 gallons then to a fish in 1000 gallons. The 1000+100 gallon rule provides a rule of thumb that assumes you do not have perfect conditions, perfect filtration, etc. And if I may humbly add, anything over 1,000 gallons is also more likely to provide an adequate swimming depth for Koi, which to my mind would have to be a minimum of three feet.

I think that's what BV was suggesting - that you want the fish to be happy.

I'm new here also and I'm also new at ponding. I know how frustrating
it is to need answers and not get any......perhaps were on our own until we reach (their) levels in ponding. I've found several good books.......at least with reading books there's no ( how many PORG'S does it take to get ONE question answered) problems..LOL Wish I could answer your questions { because I would ...there important to you } hang in there...you still have a love for ponding, you just have to find another means for getting your questions answered :-) A BOOK |
