We've been having really nice weather in Pennsylvania the past week. I orginally had 3 koi and 2 goldfish. When I went out to check how the fish did over the winter I only saw two of the koi. My poor Jet didn't make it over the winter. Jet was a black moor. He did fine the winter before. Now I know I can't keep the koi in my 80 gallon container pond. I plan on moving them to my aunt's pond which is more than big enough for them. I got them when they were small so I was just waiting until they got a little bigger before moving to my aunt's pond.
I wanted to know how many fish would you guys recommend for an 80 gallon container pond and what kind of fish would you guys get? Do you think if I get another fancy goldfish would do ok? I don't plan on getting any more koi after I move the koi I have later this summer. I'll be cleaning the container pond in a about a week or two. So I'm not going to get any fish until I've cleaned the pond. The pond is a galvanized tub/livestock tank.
So it is quite long and deep.
