Yes, koi will survive in a pond over the winter.
What is important is that the pond be deep enough to not to freeze solid over the winter. Someone will hopefully post and let you know what works in upper Wisconsin. In the winter it is important to keep a hole open in the ice for exchange of gases. I use a protected air pump, line and air stone. Zone 7 here in SE WA, I'm sure you're much lower on the scale. kathy |

I think if I were in Wisconsin, I'd probably go close to 4.5-5 feet in depth to be safe. And remember that does not have to be the entire pond, just enough room for them to hang out over the winter. -- BV Webporgmaster of iheartmypond.com http://www.iheartmypond.com I'll be leaning on the bus stop post. |
