water is super clear! love it. If you put some african cichlids in there, they're brave fish and would swim around you, also they'll help the kois get brave!
Glad it turned out great for you guys. But fyi, Koi does not like turbulent waters. I think you might want to relocate them. They really like serene waters. Sad to see them stressed. Good luck.
This is awesome I guess it would be no difference than me going to the river and swimming with fish but this is much better 🤷♀️you know exactly what is in there 🥰‼️
Wow this is incredible, a thought just crossed my mind about swimming in pond with fishes. Glad I stumbled upon your video. You guys made it so wonderfully and cleanly 💓 btw how many feet is your pond?
Hi, thanks for watching! Its definitelly fun to swim with our koi! More info on the pond here (build and dimmensions): th-cam.com/video/l2O9_BqNQFg/w-d-xo.html
Hi. A lot of filtration. 3 biofalls, 2 skimmers, 2 canister filters and a lot of plants. So far so good at 3 months in after the build. Planning to built a bog filter area (natural skimmer) in the future as well. That should help even more. But as of right now it looks like whatever I have does the job on the 6000 gallon pond.

They are at the beginning (only 2nd year for some and 1st year for most). It's just a matter of time until they get more & more comfortable with us being in there with them. Thanks for watching!
You asked the wrong pomd company 😉 Watch Greg Withstock's videos. You do need proper filtration though, of course . See one of our latest videos, we just built an intake bay and a wetland filter which is the best most natural filter you can have on a pond: th-cam.com/video/evYkflkOAp8/w-d-xo.html
@ST H Not for koi or goldfish. They survive in any temperatures. During the harsh winters here when the pond is frozen they go to the bottom and "hibernate". But the pond needs to be at least 3 foot deep. See here: th-cam.com/video/2ltP3XAjoeI/w-d-xo.html
@@justingandara9289 Makes sense! We prefer natural water (no chlorine) as much as possible (ocean , lakes , rivers, ponds) Watch Greg Wittstock (Aquascape) when you have a chance. He's THE pond guy! A professional. He loves recreation ponds and swimming with fish. It's just natural, nothing unusual. As long as the pond has good filtration and the water is clean.
I'm glad that you posted this follow up video.......I was wondering what you did with the fish. Great job to all!
Dream come true🦋. Very inspirational!
Does swimming with the fishes ring a bell to anyone lol
water is super clear! love it.

I do have a chiclid tank inside maybe I'll move some of them out in the pond. Good idea. I've seen Kamp Kenan do it too
@@Red.Scapes Kenan's rec pond is out of this world
Wooooooow it's beautiful 😍 good job 👍
This is so great 👍 thank you for sharing!
Love it!

Not sure I agree. Koi are carp and carp live in rivers. They like fast moving water actually.
Thanks for watching!

Exactly. And the water is very clean. Thanks for watching!
Your channel is awesome!
Appreciate it! And thank you for watching!
Nice!

Hi, Pond looks Amazing, what you do for filtration, how do you keep it crystal clear?

The poor fish look a little stressed. I hope you won't be doing cannon balls into the pond anymore now that the fish are back.

Swimming pond company said no fish and no ducks in a swimming pond? Too much faecal matter they said. Apparently frogs are ok.
You asked the wrong pomd company 😉

@@Red.Scapes awesome thank you! If I have tilapia can I erm... occasionally eat the tilapia?!
@@Red.Scapes I'm going to have to heat the pond for fish though. I'm in London UK

I do t see why you couldn't have the tilapia as pets swimming with them and then eat them occasionally 😅. Nothing wrong with that
SWIMMING WITH FISH? LET ME BE HONEST, THAT'S A LITTLE TOO MUCH
So Im guessing you never swin in the ocean or any lakes? :)
Its pretty cool, try it!
Thanks for watching!
@@Red.Scapes SWIMMING IN OCEANS IS JUST NOT MY THING, POOLS LIKE BACKYARD POOLS AND WATER PARKS ARE MY THING, BUT YOU’RE VERY CREATIVE
