In most places of the world koi would not survive under such conditions if it works for you it is great but hopefully new people do not read this or pay any attention .If you plan to get a better grade of fish I would rebuild your pond first . During the summers in Canada they would die because the water would get too hot during the winter it could become solid ice . In fact it is a big busines here selling new fish every year as well as medications because people heard of koi living in such ponds .
