Before you consider buying any fish you're going to have to build a koi fish pond. This can take a while to accomplish however the satisfaction you receive after it will be worth it.
One of the things you need to think of first of all is the location and the size of the pool, planning is vital and these two things are the most important because you won't be able to do much changes once installed as the pond is permanent. For this reason plan the area and size that you want the pond, keep in mind that koi fish grow quickly and can get up to 3 feet in size so you want to make sure that you get the most space out of it.
Other things you need to consider when building the pond would be the filtration devices. These are important as they will help keep it clean for you. There are two types that you need to make sure that you get biological and mechanical. The biological will help get rid of dissolved waste (which can become ammonia if allowed), where as the mechanical filter will deal with solids such as waste and algae. These are vital so make sure that you get them in your pond.
Plants are a great benefit when it comes down to your pond as they can add a visual scene and they can also be an added benefit to your fish as well. Some plants have been known to give extra oxygen and keep algae out of the pond so look into plants like these.
These are just a few things when to consider when you are looking on how to build a koi fish pond. There are plenty more things to look out for as well so make sure you look into it.
