KOI POND: (fish pond)-anyone have one

[NEVE and TRISTAN]

We have one that is in two of those plastic forms from Home Depot/Lowes we are about to redo them to make it larger without the plastic and to add more Koi and a little bridge (for looks it certainly doesn't really need it)...

I have three koi now that are about two years old and they are hanging out under the tiny water fall (dribble) from the higher pond...do you think they are lacking oxygen and desparate for it ther or maybe it feels good????

I know this is a srange question but I'm wanting them happy!!!!!
Also any good advice in remaking it would be loved!!!!!

Last month's This Old House magazine had an entire article about all different kinds of ponds, fish and appropriate plant life.

Neve,

My husband loves fish--we have a reef tank and until DS we had a shark pond in our courtyard. You can see it at my husbands website www.sharklagoon.com If you have any specific questions I can ask DH. He built our pond and bridge you see on the site. It is now, however, a sandbox due to the drowning risk it posed for our little one.

HTH,
Meredith

I want my bridge just like that...I want my rocks just like that!!!!! It looks so good....I can't wait to show Steve. Ours is at the very end of our yard so the drowing risk is not as much of a fear to us as it could be if close like this one...
But wow this is AWESOME...thanks for sharing!!!!
I will take you up on the offer to ask DH questions for me as we re do it...what a talented DH you have!!!!!
Thank you!!!!
