There was a mistake in the explanation though. It is NOT about geothermal heat (at least not primarily) - it is about the fact that water is at its desenst at 4 degrees Celsius. So 4 degrees warm water will sink to the bottom and therefore the most stable temperature will be at the bottom of the pond. If the pond freezes over, this might also be the warmest temperature.

Just want to drop a bit of knowledge here. I built and have maintained a 5000 galloon koi pond/ stream for about 12 years now. It's 4 feet deep in the deep end, but averages about 2.5 ft. I run 2 10in disc aerators full time. You mentioned one piece that is important, which is having deep enough water. However, the most important part is oxygenating the water, and making sure the ice doesn't freeze over and trap ammonia underneath the ice. (Which is the most often way fish die.) In 12 years implementing this strategy/making sure I don't have leaf buildup etc. I've never lost a mature koi, and I'm in a colder climate than you are. I've never covered the pond (only a net for leaves) or heated the pond.

I mean it's not exactly hard though, just keep the pump running and unless you have an incredibly shallow pond or really cold climate you're good on all ends. Moving water is incredibly hard to freeze. I used to do Koi ponds professionally and there's really not a lot to it so long as you have common sense and can use google once in awhile.

Definitely dig a deeper pond! Great idea to put a tent up around it! Glad you had a team to help you! A couple questions (I've put up and worked under event tents in lots of cinditions): How many pounds are the weights on each leg of the tent? Looked like you had some good weights so you're likely taken care of. There should be a minimum of 25 lbs on each leg so the tent doesn't fly away or become a spider. Do the sidewalls Velcro to the tent top? I wasn't sure looking at them whether they did or not. If they only go under the top, you may find that velcroing them will seal out more of the cold.

Could just use a bubbler which prevents the ice from freezing over sections of the pond. I recommend only putting them 1 ft or so down so you aren't taking the 'warmer' water from the bottom and raising it up. You're only disturbing the surface.

Something to keep in mind, all the stuff you mentioned with how they survive and what is required in the water even while frozen. If you adapted a pool cover design strong enough for you to walk on or shovel the top covering of snow off of. This can be covering several air tubes or air stacks (smoke stacks with cover) After that you just need to find a way to add semi warmed water to areas of the pond, or maybe take rocks heat them and then place them near areas the fish can swim to get closer to without being boiled or burnt. The tent collects snow and could cave in also, the wind you mentioned shouldn't be an issue for a flat pond cover. For your enjoyment make it so it has handles or is maybe sectional. Instead of trying to get heat into the water to make it like springtime, rely on the fish and their hibernation and the fact that you can add the odd bit of food or warmer water if it gets too cold. What you were trying was fighting the weather, you should have tried looking for ways to make it easier for them to hibernate. Think of how animals manage when there are no humans or the owners have forgotten and moved on. I say this idea, to save you some money and frustration, especially if the weather gets worse or someday a new owner comes along. Gotta make it easier and enjoyable or eventually after you pass, it will all be changed.

Another Canadian here. My pond is just a tad bigger than yours. Last year I put an aerator and a pond heater (thermostatically controlled to keep the water at 10 C). Do be careful not to put them close to each other. I had them side by side due the electrical outlet, and the aerator dissipated the heat too much and the heater didn’t shut off and kept raising the temp too high. I contacted the manufacturer and they advised separating the two and the rest of the winter was great. I didn’t lose any fish :)

I'm so glad you realized that you need a heater in the water. But frankly 900.00 for a heater is nothing compared to what you paid for those koi and the trip over there to get them. You are asking the current heater you have in your pond to work too hard there is a good chance it will fail. To be on the safe side you should buy another one and operate them both then neither one has to work so hard. But here's the most important thing you should know and please pay attention that canopy will not support the weight of the snow you have to keep the snow off the roof or it will collapse on you. The way to keep the snow off the roof is to be on the inside and gently poke at the roof with a broom to get the snow to slide off. I don't know how long you have snow there for but you will have to keep an eye on it the whole time. Good luck I really enjoy your videos I love traveling all over the world with you keep up the good work thank you so much.

I live in Colorado so it snows quite a bit (I feel like it has been less this year than previous years but instead of having more snow throughout a span of a few days, it all comes at once) and my neighbors had a pond of Koi fish and whenever I would walk by when it got cold enough for the water to freeze, I always got so confused as to why the fish were still in the water but seemed fine when it got warmer.

you just need to deepen the pool to about 7 feet at its deepest point. And run the pump continuously when winter comes and stop feeding. That will be safe. My friend has kept a frozen pond for over 10 years with no problems. And especially in cold regions like you should raise the Goshiki Koi, it will be very beautiful and have full color in cold regions. and you should keep nutrient levels in your water as winter approaches low to avoid bacterial growth. You can also put a UV lamp in your filter box.

Surface area is so much more important for koi than depth and from growing up there, I can tell you that the mud ponds in the rice fields of Niigata where they grow out those gigantic world class show koi aren’t even 7’ deep (they’re more like 3’-4’ waist to chest deep). Koi would much rather prefer shallow streams with high flow rate over deep lagoons with stagnant water. Koi are cyprinids and cyprinids live in clear, shallow streams and rivers. And 7’ is not going to be realistically possible for most keepers. At 7’ deep, most keepers aren’t going to be able to get in that deep to do maintenance. If you let leaves and other organic waste accumulate at that depth because you can’t reach down that far to clean it, it’s going to decompose, become a breeding ground for parasites, and do far more harm than good for the water quality and health of the fish. And let’s be realistic here and offer practical and reasonable advice. How many viewers of this channel are going to have gigantic world class koi? Less than 1%? Most of this channel’s viewers have domestic koi under $500 a piece in ornamental garden ponds.

@@spottedsaddlebredparaplegicpup Dude, you should go back to school. This lake uses the method of filtering through rocks at the end of the flow, planting plants there so that their roots can absorb nutrients in the water. and the organic residue deposited at the bottom will be processed by microorganisms and there will be no dirty mud or anything. The proof is that the koi pond is like above but the bottom is lined with white sand and is not black at all. You don't have enough knowledge, I'm talking about the case in the video where the lake area is quite small so it needs to be deep. But everyone knows that there are many cases where people use the depth you mentioned in livestock farming to make it easier to observe, and the depth of fish is increased to 16 feet deep. I think we should end the conversation here.

fish go to the bottom bc the bottom never gets frozen at 4 degrees celsius is when water is at its highest density so all the water thats about 4 degrees celsius will be at the very bottom

Hey this looks great! if you haven't done it yet, you might wanna add some haybales around the outside of the tent, it helps keep the heat in and the snow out! good luck!

Why don’t you just dig and extra foot or two down into the pond 😂 Seems like that would be a lot less faff

If you do build a bigger pond then you won't need the tent anymore. And you won't have to worry about your fish freezing! 🐟

I think that 4-foot rule is old school. Last few years in Midwest (I am in Indiana) its been really "easy" winters. Last year, pond only froze over 3" thick for one week then thawed. This winter 2024, was quite a bit colder for longer and ice got to 8" thick! Deepest side of my pond is at 4 foot mark but the shallow end at 2 foot, had fish under the ice no issues.

"Digging a deeper pond is definitely a great idea! And setting up a tent around it? Genius! It’s awesome that you had a team to help out. I have a couple of questions, though (I’ve put up and worked under event tents in all kinds of conditions): How much do the weights on each leg of the tent weigh? They looked solid, so I’m guessing you’re all set, but ideally, each leg should have at least 25 pounds to keep the tent from taking off or bending. Also, do the sidewalls Velcro to the tent top? I couldn’t quite tell, but if they don’t, adding Velcro could help seal out the cold better. Just a thought!"

Both my front & rear ponds freeze over sometimes in the winter, but the area near the water fall stay agitated so theirs always a hole. And fortunately it doesn't get devils balls Chicago cold here in Maryland, so they always survive. Nice to see other options people use for cold weather though!

Fish hibernate at the bottom of a lake and pond because they have evolved to be able to survive at 4 degrees which is the temperature that water at the bottom will stay at for the longest. Water is at its most dense at 4 degrees so it will sink to bottom.

The next time you set up your tent, try to shovel as much snow as possible to the sides of the tent. This eliminates drafts and improves insulation inside the tent

At 3:36 you mention about turning that tank into an Amazonian tank. Would you really put an Arapaima in it? I dont think Ive ever seen anyone have one in an aquarium before. Either they get too huge or are way too strong of a fish to hold. It would be cool to see though.

You can build an inline heater by inserting your current heater to a PVC pipe with a pond pump on one end and a sponge on the other.
