Hi everyone,

my grandparents are starting a pond. They were wondering how many golfish and koi they could put in a 80 gallon pond? Are goldfish and koi cappatable?(spelling). They would preffer some of each.

go with a couple of fancy goldfish, with fantails...I'm just thinking though because of your location, be sure that you can stabalize the temperature in the pond, and keep it topped off...I tried fish while living in the desert once, and couldn't keep up with the topping off...best of luck, heidi michelle

Goldfish and Koi are perfectly compatible, but that pond is much too small for Koi. A few fancy goldfish would be very happy in that pond. I am hoping it is in-ground. An above-ground pond can get too hot during the day for fish.

Goodluck
