I don't want to give them
I hate the thought of giving my koi away, but i'm so worried that they won't be happy until i can get a larger pond dug next spring. The personality of koi are what got me interested in this to start with. I used to know a lady years ago that had an indoor pool in her VERY NICE home that she had converted to a koi pond. Those fish were just so much fun to watch. They each definitely had their own personality. Her koi were of course huge and very happy! I love my little comets too, but there is a big difference in the personalities.
Hi. Honestly it you want to keep them just take close watch of the pond water until you dig the new one. Maybe test the water once a week when you are still feeding them. If the results turn poorly then you will need to make a decision what to do. I can’t imagine the Koi getting that large by next spring that they would cause a huge problem. I don’t know how many other fish you have, but don’t over feed them or buy any new ones until you have them all safe and sound in the new pond!
