Backyard goldfish koi pond in the fall

Here is what my pond looks like in October. The fish are starting to slow down now and not eating as much. The plants are fairly overgrown and starting to die. It's time to cut all of the plants down so that we can put the pond net on to keep the leaves out and also to keep the herons away!

everything cool but i dont agree that the koi should be in tht small of a enviroment / habitat it should have atleast 16x20 Ft space ....

its like a grown man living in a ford focus

@TheAsuraa Oh, I disagree. The pond is almost 2000 gallons, 3 1/2 feet deep and 10 x 26 feet. My koi, plus the other fish have plenty of room ;)

O.O I'm so jealous! What region are you in? That white koi is huge! Are all the rest goldfish mainly? I'm so jealous! Lol.

@Quarter7337 We are in zone 6. We can have very harsh winters, but not this year! I have a total of three koi and yes, the rest are mainly goldfish.

do you just let the koi stay out for the winter or do you bring them in. also, what do you let the filter run in the winter of dose it freeze up?

@kellydjelly We run our waterfall 24/7. The fish stay in the pond all year. They hibernate on the bottom, the pond ices over and the fish do fine!
