It is weird how after putting the news kids in the pond comet behavoir changed. They used to swim in groups of 2 - 4 seperated throughout the pond not paying any attention to me (except Angelina who has always liked me). But now they all school together (4 Kio, 13 Comets and many fry). They stay together and swim to me when I walk up. It's like it was natural for the koi to behave this way and the comets figured they would just follow along LOL.
I love them and may get another 4 before summer is over.
I would like to find out exactly how much volume my pond holds first. My best guess is 5000-6000 gallons. So I am going to take exact measurements once the water warms to where I can stand in it for a long time to measure. I will give the info to my brother who is an engineer and should be able to get me a pretty exact number. I am math illiterate LOL
The guy who I got the koi from said if I didn't have comets my pond could handle about 40 koi!!! Seems like a lot.
