Location of your pond is one of the most important factors you must figure out before you start. You pond needs to be out of direct sunlight if possible. It be best if it isn’t directly under trees because of falling debris. It needs to be close to electricity and also close enough that you can enjoy it!
The size of you pond depends on the space you have and the type of fish you want. If you are sure you want koi you need to have a larger pond. Koi can grow to be quite large. A koi pond needs to be at least 15 feet by 10 feet. If you were thinking about something smaller, you may have to go with goldfish.
