Thanks Guy,
Mike I want to put my female in my larger pond. It scares the hell out of me as I am affaired that I might lose the koi. About 4 years ago my boyfriends mother had a pond built and after the pond was full she purchased a bunch of fingerlings and put in the pond and all died. I dont know if mud ponds go through a ammonia spike as new liner pond do or not and wanted to be safe before putting her into the pond.
I still have not had the pond built because of the weather here, it wont stop raining long enough to get the ponds dug. The builder is just waiting for the weather to get right. If the weather does not improve I am going to have to keep my koi sperated for longer than I wanted. I dont know if this has a braring on them spawninng or not.
I dont think that I am going to use the kiddie pool to spawn my koi as I am scared that I will kill the eggs. If I need to build a spawning tank say you think 300 gallons would be what I need. I want to be safe instead of sorry. I can buy some EPDM liner to build this with. What size do you suggest?
