Hi all,

Just started having my own koi pond, kyspeaks koi building blog do help a lot, thanks kyspeak, although i didn't write anything in you blog.

Anyway nice to share experience with you koi lover out there, my pond has just been completed last week, a concrete pond, the same as ky's. Just wondering when can we actually put in the kois?

Do we need to let the pond with the pump running for some time before releasing the fish?

Guys, any advice??? I planned to release the fish this thursday. And should anybody want to have their koi for adoption, I'm more than willing to adopt them.

Hope to get lots of replies from all of you..

The pond size ia about 5'x4'X3'(depth), i'm using a biofilter made from japanese mat and pebbles.

My concrete pond is ready since Sunday, can anyone tell me how long should i wait before i release my fish?

I'll upload the pic later.

Yup, I plan to buy some cheap koi from Pasar Road first, around RM3-5 each.

I'll definitely post some picture later, currently the lanscape is not yet ready, just the pond, with the pump running 24 hours a day.

Hopefully the koi/interest would last. he..he if not then i would have to demolish the pond also la...

Bro my filter is fed by pump, its just a simple mat plus pebbles tpye of filter. Heard a koi pond owner implement this method and really works.

really ah? i thought tap water should be treat first before being put into the pond.. anyway, maybe the fish likes it rain-like ripples

Bro here's the url

its explanation is kinna simple to follow. Hope it will help. When are you going to built your own koi pond?

hmm sad to say, yesterday one of my koi died, ,
i just bought it last friday from pasar road, although its a cheap one still,
its been swimming awkwardly lately, i guess maybe its already not in a good condition.
Got to find me a new one now, anybody want to giveaway theirs?

I would love to take them, either one or two, or three..
