Koi ?


Just thinking about November.....What should i do with my KOI?
My pond is 5' deep in a 8x6 spot....
What is best for the fish , bring them in or keep them out?
I have some Koi i have come to care for very much and dont want to kill them.
All info welcome.
PS: If bringing them in is the way to go.....what do i need to keep them inside?
If i keep them out.....what will i need? (short of heating the pond.!

I would leave them out, your pond id deep enough. You need a power head or an air stone, you need to keep a hole in the ice. Remember to keep the PH or AS at the suface, so you don't disturb the warm water at the bottom of the pond. Aslo for redundancy throw a floating horse trough heater in your pond as a back-up. As long as your pond temp doesn't go below 34* F, your fish are safe.

Or if you want to bring them in for the winter, you will need a 100+ gallon stock tank with a filter and airstone/airpump.
