I'm thinking about installing a koi pond in my yard, and would like some feedback from others who have them. I'm interested in what to do with them in the winter, cost of running pumps/filters. How disease prone they are. And anything else that might prove helpful in swaying a decision one way or the other.

I love Koi ponds. It makes them easier to catch, then filet and fry. 🙂

Purely aesthetic. I like the way koi look when the surface.

For thousands of years small pools of water have provided places of peace and tranquility. Things can slow down there, it is a change of pace from what we do with the rest of our lives. We humans are land-based creatures and I think we like the change and interest liquid water provides. It can be the center (and perhaps showcase) of a design for a piece of land that adds beauty, value, and pleasure.

Well sir, you wouldn't know beautiful and sensitive writing if it bit you on the ass!

To be honest, I am on #7 of a 12 pack of Molson Canadian. 😳
