The exact stocking density will vary greatly depending on the filter size, frequency of water changes, amount of food given and size of the koi. The ability and experience of the koi-keeper will also have a large influence on maintaining the right water conditions. For a beginner the general rule of thumb stocking level of 50″ length of fish to 1000 gallons is a good starting point. This should enable goodwater quality to be easily maintained provided a properfilter system is fitted.
