New koi still skittish

Posted: 17 Oct 2020 05:48 PM PDT

I got a pair of young (~4") koi a little over 2 weeks ago, followed the pond shop's recommendation for water change and Hikari Ultimate conditioner treatment. The pond (~5k gallons) has always had a bit of a "shag carpet" algae layer on the bottom and they've been digging around in it eating I'm assuming the small worms that live in it.
Thing is they're staying near the bottom, and dart away to the back of the pond to hide under cover any time we get near. They don't even notice whenever we throw them food. Can't even convince them we're nice by feeding them. They seem happy, we regularly see them wandering around the pond together, munching in the algae.

I've had the house and pond for ~1 year, was wanting to be sure I had the pond handled before putting fish in it. There's been a good number of mosquito fish in the pond, and they love the food. I'm brand new to Koi though.

Any suggestions?
