  • koi pond dem.

    Would a koi pond with the dimensions w5xl10xd4 look funny being that deep?

  • #2
    No, a little wider would be nice. Give big fish turn around room.

      Will 13x20 liner work?

        You want to lay liner over the top (more than to just fill the hole), therefore you need a bigger liner.

        Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
        Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

              go deeper to 4ft if you can, it gets hot in houston.

              the deeper depth will keep the water cooler.

              koi get stressed when water temps get above 85.

              going deep also helps to keep the water warmer in the winter (not that it gets that cold) it will help minimize the temperature swings that stress koi.
