Hi here goes, my pond is a 16x16x3 foot deep and is full of koi, This started as a child, guppies I just loved them, so all my life I have had aquairum fish and raised all types, learned alot about fish and their problems early on and it was and still is my hobby, My first pond came about 25 years ago and did not know much about pond fish, I only had on white koi that I did not know what it was, only that it was a koi. My first pond I dug and concreated in myself using bags of mix and it was 4ft deep and about 8x12 in width and length. I had a very small filter and some plants and never had a algie problem, I had floating water plants covering most of the pond and I guess that is what helped me in that area. I have only been into koi for about 3 years and I just love them. As a matter of fact I just purchased last year 2 acres of land to build koi ponds and I have one that I am in the process of building and it is a 60x60x6 foot deep. I will be raiseing Momotaro Kohuka in that pond. Will be building three ponds of this size to raise Showa and Sanka also, so as you see I am into these koi. And also just to let you know I am a member of the Atlanta Koi Club. Went to my first show last year, won a few ribbons and nothing to really talk about but I had fun and met some people in the area that are into koi just as much as I am, so I had alot of fun. At this point I am purchasing my parent stock to start my breeding program. Only have a very good quality Kujuka and Kohuka at this point. Both female.
