Isn't buying Koi is allot of fun? Have you ever bought or seen a koi in a store that is swimming out of control? I'm sure it made you laugh and you either thought about buying it or did buy it. If you bought it by the next day it was probably dead.  Sorry, but true... It's known as the "death swim".

How many Koi is too many for your pond? Answer is: "Don't full with Mother Nature! She gets you in the end.  Unfortunately, your pond only holds a certain amount of fish...Your filtration system is the key to a successful pond.

Aeration is always necessary and you shouldn't think that your waterfall does it all. Checking your pH, ammonia, nitrite and alkalinity levels is a must. pH should be 7.2-7.8, ammonia & nitrates should be zero, alkalinity should be 120 ppm.  What happens when your pH, ammonia and alkalinity is low.. your pond becomes acid, fish are sick, lie at the bottom, your water will have an odor and you need to do a 25% water change immediately, and retest, 25% water change, retest, 25% water change, retest until its right.
