About
A specialized garden water feature built for Japanese carp, holding thousands of pounds of water.
Koi ponds vary greatly in size, ranging from small backyard basins to large estate installations holding tens of thousands of gallons. A depth of at least 3 to 4 feet is typical to give koi swimming room and protect them from winter freezing and predators. Because water is dense, a pond of this footprint weighs as much as two pickup trucks combined.
From Wikipedia
Koi ponds are ponds used for holding koi carp, usually as part of a garden. Koi ponds can be designed specifically to promote health and growth of the Nishikigoi or Japanese Ornamental Carp.
