Hi,

I'm building a fish pond above ground of approx 2 Meters x 4 Meters.

Does anyone know what kind of water depth it should have to keep fairly large fish without boiling them ?

It will have some kind of indirect sun for short periods, Has anyone had any experience ?

Thanks

I have a large koi pond and have it 1 meter deep which seems to work well. in california mine was 1/2 meter deep and was good. i was told here the deeper depth was better

Google "Koi pond construction" and you will get more info than you will know what to do with. It will tell you the size requirements depending on how many fish you want to keep. A good pump and circulation system is pretty important.

Happy fish growing.

Thanks guys for the replies, Does anyone know a good place to get the pump and filter? I tried all Home Pro stores etc but nothing that was of any use.

Cheers

I was a JJ mall Bkk last week many beautifull Koi and everything needed to build a pond .

Buy a small swimming pool sand filter. Take the discharge water hose and run it over a rock waterfall. You keep the water clean and aerated at the same time.
