What is a Koi Pond ?

Koi are prodigious waste producers, and koi enthusiasts like to keep large numbers of fish in small spaces. A koi pond must be designed to facilitate the rapid removal of fish waste from the bottom of the pond, so it should be relatively steep side walls and a smooth bottom that slopes gradually to a bottom drain. A depth of 30" to 36" is adequate. California Waterscapes specializes in water gardens that are principally for aquatic plants and a few fish. We do not build koi ponds.
