@Kennyboy951 Actually its funny you say that because I am uploading an update video right now lol. It should be available in an hour or so. Thanks for watching Kenny!
@LuckyBambooExpert Thanks :) i love your videos and ive been following all your tips and advice and so far my bamboo has been doin good and your new koi pond is so smart . so thanks for the ideas and keep on with your video's!
@LuckyBambooExpert very good. if you have any questions, please ask. if i cant answer it, im sure someone on my subs or friends list could. cool vids and keep us updated on how this goes.
pleco needs at least 70-82 degrees on average at a constant rate, and they are sensitive to Aquarium Salt/Pond Salt which is needed for all Koi to maintain healthy gills and to prevent diseases.
Pleco's are catfish, and catfish do not generally have scales to protect themselves. Instead they use mucus layers, which are harmed by salt in ponds.
Be sure to watch out for the pleco sucking onto your koi as well :PP
@gisellem88 for goldfish species/carp (such as koi) usually about once every 2 weeks at 20% once the tank is established because they produce massive amounts of waste and amonia.
Otherwise generally 10% each week to stay healthy and to prevent any stress on the fish
wow amazing pond! i love the whisper filter series. make sure to get a chiller if the temp gets too hot, because they're cold water species.
However the pleco, is a tropical species so you might have some conflicting water tolerances in such a small pond.
I hope you have room for your koi and/or pleco because pleco grows to 24 inches and a koi can grow up to 5 feet long. They also require 3 feet water depth to exercise their body as they swim vertically for their exercise.
2011 Update, I built a bigger pond but then took it apart and sold the fish. So now I have nothing lol.

dont keep the water too warm or too still. Still (not moving) water is a place where mosquitoes lay eggs so watch out. ;)

@11aamiller Because they would get to big. And my tank is small.

i would highly suggest a cover, to prevent your fish from jumping out. very nice looking babies in there.
cool idea, should work great while they are little.

@10kpondguy Yes I am defiantly considering a cover. These Koi will only be in here for about a year until I build my pond at my new house.
