done using the 24" figure. I did not do the math originally and even stated that it might just be they way they were all crowding around for feeding (as koi and GF always do).
The only other thing I would take into consideration with the "up to 30" fish, is the fact that there cood be some breeding activity that takes place in the pond....if there were only 15 or 20 fish that could certainly increase dramatically come next spring and summer. If you stock to the max 30 and end up with fry, then you're overstocked. With a pond you always need to plan ahead.
:If she went with your calculations of 150-gallons per koi, then she could have up to 30 koi since her pond with the dimensions of 11'x22'x30" comes roughly up to 4,525-gallons.
:MidnightMu I am still so jealous of your pond, and one day I'm going to recruit your hubby to build mine.
