My friend Angie will like to see these - she has some beautiful Koi.

Hi Maggi!

Thank's!

Depending on depth of water and, if it is present tributary of water. I have deep water enough and tributary of water is permanent.
 Also when lake freezes, fish are safe.

I tried for many years to keep koi outside but failed miserably. They were never happy. My pond was about 4ft deep. I now keep my koi in a depth of 6ft in a polytunnel and I also heat the water. 
Now my next challenge is to grow water lilies as beautiful as you have, Been trying to do this for twenty years and haven't had much success and time will soon be running out  .
Can you tell me how deep your water is and how long a period of winter weather that you have.
Really nice pictures of your garden and its plants.

Hi Angie!

Thank's!

Winter takes since November in our country by March. There are lowest temperatures in February (to - 16 st. C).
 Small lake freezes on entire surface then (ice is trunks towards 3 cm). This occurs every year. I had no problem with fish because of this so far. It is key round me, that it is present permanent tributary (and drain) freshly water.
 
My small lake:

maximum depth:1.4 m
mass of water:60 m3
 natural tributary of water:80 litres/ of the hours

Thanks for the information on your pond and your climate. I think keeping koi in good health is all to do with water conditions and what a bonus having running water through your pond this will keep your koi very happy. I love the snowy picture of your pond. I would love to show this picture to my koi club members if that was all right with you.
You have a spectacular home and garden.

Here is a picture of my Mr Big, he is a greedy koi as you can see

Lovely pictures, Zvone. Thank you.

We've not had a proper frost here yet and a few tender things are still flowering but they don't look great.

Just wanted to drop a line that I'm quite surprised that someone in Europe is creating a huge Japanese style rock garden! Keep up your good work!
