Many people left feedback and requested more details on this project. In this video they cover topics such as solid wood construction, and proper bolting and lining of the Koi pond. If you are thinking about buying Koi fish in the near future, please think of the home you will build for them first. -Fred
Check out this tiny backyard Koi pond. The owner says it is about 1000 gallons. Enjoy the results of her hard work! Just watching people feed this cool fish makes me want to feed mine!
This is small project that anyone can have and enjoy.

Dear Fred,
A group of friends of mine is saving up to buy a white koi fish for one of our teachers–American Lit. teacher–that absolutely loves fish, and he has been raving about how much he wants one all year long. There are twenty-six of us trying to buy this fish, so we will definitely be able to pull it off, but we just need to know how much to save.
Oh, and if anyone is curious, we are naming the fish Moby Dick because that is the teacher’s favorite book.
Fred:
Thanks for the question about the white Koi Fish. Your Teacher is probably wanting a UTSURIMONO. This is a white koi with Sanke-style sumi. I’ll try to post some Ebay auctions. Ebay always has great deals but you have to inspect the sellers. Cost vary depending on the age and the size of the fish you are looking to buy.
I have two koi fish in a 29 gallon tank with a 50 gallon filter. I have a pond outside that i can put them in when it gets too big. i know you can tame koi to eat from your hand or even let you stroke them but how do you do it? I can put a pellet in the water with my finger on it, so the surface rpessure keeps it there and one will eat it after a few minutes then quickly swim away. But the other won’t. the one that comes to me is around 3.5 inches and the other is 4.5 inches. Can someone help?
P.S. Are there any special treats that they love that might intice them to come?
