I wish I lived in a climate warm enough for a back yard koi fish pond..



I miss the beautiful koi fish ponds in Taiwan.

I've seen koi ponds that are heated just enough to keep them from freezing. They put electric immersion heats in them during the winter or for very large ponds.....a pool heater system. Unfortunately where you are it would be extremely costly to run the any kind of heater based on electricity. With the sub zero temps up there any heater would be running balls to the wall and your electric meter would be spinning like a pinwheel.

Actually Renee I had a woman in my office that had a Koi pound all year round. They used what you explained but used solar panels and batteries to run and store power.



If I remember right she also had a pump to move the water to keep it from freezing over.



I'm sure it would need constant care..

Probably a lot more than what Fash was wanting to spend. She's practically a bag lady and her family gets all their grub delivered from the Salvation Army ya know.

Koi ponds can actually freeze over.  They just need to be deep enough to leave some water like 5ft deep. The fish will be fine if you have an aerator going (cheaper than heating) or just punch a hole in the ice.  The issue is getting them oxygen.
