Don't be discouraged CyberEt,you can still grow some koi up to 80 bu if you care to choose those under Kawarimono category(like Chagoi,ochiba shigure,Ki goi or Beni goi.As for the Gosanke category a bit more difficult as the bloodline to surpass that length over here needs a lot of luck and nurturing(like mud pond)
Just my thoughts
goldrush

na, unless i rebuilt and expand my pond capacity, and do a major revamp of the filtration system, i won't even bother to try. Even so, local koi scene boring, anyway "its all about the money".

Bros,
For a 7ft(L) x 3ft(L) x 3ft(H) fibre tank, is it big or deep enough for 9 kois? Base on this dimension, how many ton pond do I have?
Already increase my depth by 1 more ft. Really don't wish to have a deeper pond cause OC will not approve.

if u r getting for feng shui purpose, just get those cheap ones, 5 bucks per piece type, else i won't recommend u to keep kois. then have a seperate tub where by the over crowding kois won't affect your gfs

1.5 tonnes.
If you get those $5 kois from LFS can keep 9.
If you get those $5k ones from Max or Nippon or JK keep 1 or 2.
even 5k ones keep 1 or 2 in 1.5ton is a waste of money, hehe.. imho..

You made my pond sound so small..........

erm, if u r talking about koi.. yes.. its considered small

Sorry.
Depends on what you want,actually.If you want to rear 9 for fengshui purposes it is perfectly OK to get those cheap kois from LFS and keep them there.
But if you intend to get serious then 1.5 tonnes of water is definately on the low side.
