I'm looking into starting a new pond come next spring.
I want to build a very large one in my backyard. 10ftx10ft at least and possibly larger.
My question is after I have the tank fully stocked with koys, what do I do with them during the winter? Assuming the pond is too large to just cover up.
Will they be able to survive the winter in a hibernation state?
The problem I see is that I want to construct a bridge over the pond, with the legs of the bridge acctualy going into the water. So as you can tell it wouldnt be that easy to just cover it up.
If I want them to hibernate is there some concievable depth I must reach?
