A healthy koi pond requires at least 1000 gallons of water and at least four to six feet of depth, especially in climates where winter ice can form as deep as 8 inches. Size up if you can; experts recommend more water rather than less water for koi, so go as large as possible to give your koi enough room to develop, swim and grow.

Koi prefer to swim without making constant turns, so a rectangular style of pond is preferable to a circular one. You don’t have to install a geometrically-perfect rectangular pool of water, but do aim for a shape with one extended dimension to allow for distance swimming without frequent turning. Longer is better when it comes to koi pond design.
