| Keeping koi in areas that have potential to flood? Posted: 04 Nov 2020 01:25 PM PST So I live on the coast of FL and it's prone to flooding during hurricane season, does anyone else keep koi in flood zones? If so how do you ensure that the pond won't be Ruined? My guess is to build it high by er up off the ground, possibly creating a man made hill and having the pond on top of that. Or an alternative is just not living in a flood zone lol. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Trying to see what’s better to do for my koi Posted: 04 Nov 2020 06:51 AM PST I have 3 koi currently in a 75 gal tank. Don't fret! They're small (2 <~6" and one butterfly that's about 3-4") I want to move them into a new habitat once they're about 12" because they will have outgrown the 75gal by then. My options are a custom tank, (my idea is peninsula tank in my kitchen/dining area, a low boy but I'm thinking something that would add up to ~200-300 gallons at least) or a pond. Pros of the tank: it's indoors, in a climate controlled environment so water temp is easy to maintain. Keeping it indoors means I have less that needs to be skimmed out of the tank and I also have the added benefit of not having to worry about my dogs trying to swim with the fish/drink the water/ or predators getting my big fishy babies. Cons: I worry about them being too big to keep indoors and needing to do a pond later, especially if they hit 3-4' since I know they can get absolutely MASSIVE. Pond pros: they probably can't outgrow it. It's a gorgeous yard addition and I already have ideas on what I want to do to make it a little zen area. I can always add more koi or koi-friendly fish Pond cons: I live in the south (Georgia specifically) so it's hot as balls here in satans nutsack about 6 months out of the year. I worry about being able to keep the water 80 or less in the summer. (Winters aren't really an issue as it hardly ever snows in my city so freezing isn't really something I'm worried about.) I also have 3 big dogs. One of them loves to lounge in pools (we got him a kiddie pool for the summer so they can stay out longer <husky> and not overheat). I fear they will dig up my zen area or start trying to swim in the pond and drink the pond water/pee in it/ etc. I thought about doing the pond in the front yard but my husband is concerned some nefarious assholes would poison them somehow (I don't think so but I suppose it is possible). I also worry that when we move (this is a starting home, not our "dream home" or whatever) that a pond would be a negative aspect to the sales ability. Also I'm pretty sure that I would need to add some home insurance to have a pond- especially given my neighbors have a little toddler and while he's usually well behaved, it only takes a second for them to get out of sight and get into dangerous situations. So I need some help and insight on what to do. Based on the comforts of the fish I lean to a custom built tank but I'm still worried about them outgrowing it! Ugh! [link] [comments]  |
