my dad has been taking care of koi fishes for years. if i remember correctly before i go oversea, there are about 18+ of kois. some of them has been with me since i was small.

sadly some of them died when we move them to a bigger pond as we move our house. way to stress i guess haha

nezumitaro, your pond not very deep right?

yup yup. can see it via the way the koi fish grew.
because i see a differences on how koi fish grew when i followed my dad visit his friends

if it is not deep, koi fish tend to grow fat or side ways

if deep enough, the fish will be more in balance in terms of body and beautiful. you wouldnt feel it is fat. deeper gives them more space to swim and exercise.

i dont know how deep my dad's pond is, but as i recall it is at least around 7 - 8 ft. I wouldnt know haha since the shape of the pond already looks like an eight haha so maybe my dad make the pond with 8 ft deep for wealth fortune haha

hahaha i cant now because in oversea. will take for u when i am back end of the year yeah.. lol got man make waterfall xD but my dad ones consider small, I have seen some even bigger ones in my neighborhood. They got pondok somemore and koi fish swiming around ... envy wei haha
