Does the pond pump recirculate all the water or just like the top half?

Wow! Pretty! Big goldfish! I think mine are gold fish lol, definitely not koi, I got a closer look and couldn't see any whiskers... I tried to catch one but failed, but that would explain why they didn't get as big as koi.. LOL

How many goldfish do you think my pond can hold?
Would I be able to put maybe 1 or 2 koi in it?

@Ray G @Tula Yeah I don't know what I was thinking....Thanks!

@SherrysPond Yeah I am excited! I always had thought goldfish were more of an indoor fish for some reason. How big is your koi? Sounds fun

Also, can Goldfish be uncolored? I noticed some fish the size of my baby fish(fry?) except they looks like blackish drab colored fish

They all start out grayish or black and some turn to their colors of orange or whatever fast and others can stay black or gray for years. I had a big black goldfish for several years. He/she was about 8" long and then one day it just started to turn orange and some turn white also.

My Koi was a silvery, pure white color when I got him, now he is the most beautiful dark, shiny gold color.......

I think I will put at least one koi in my pond, after it gets it's makeover of course

 

[Zuke]

What brand of pumps do you people use and what ones do you recommend?

I would stick with gold fish. Get some shubunkins, they have great colors. The one koi will breed with the gold fish and you can get overloaded with fish pretty quick.

I have never mixed them, those that have will comment on it. I have read, on here, that they do cross breed, usually sterile fish. I have read the may also get as big as koi.

Shubunkins are call poor man's koi. I love mine. These are some of mine.
