Any former or current koikeepers.

Several years ago I had about a 4,000 gal koi pond. I had 5 or 6 adult females that had grown quite large.
One winter my ventilation system failed due to a very heavy snow and I lost them all. All but one was over 30"
I still deeply miss them.
Was just wondering if others were interested in these incredibly beautiful and friendly creatures.
I keep dreaming of getting out the shovel and digging another pond capable of supporting 3 or 4 females, but I'm simply too old for such shenanigans.
If you currently have koi, please tell me about them.

I don’t but I have a couple small aquariums w/ fish. You could do that, maybe?

That’s really cool! Was there a pretty garden too?

No. Just a basic pond.
All I wanted was to be able to provide my koi with the best water I could manage.
The rest wasn't of any interest to me.
Unfortunately, I lost all my pictures of them when a hd went bad.
When I lost them, all 5 were 30" or bigger.
One was a butterfly, not a real koi but a crossbreed.
He/she was 36" nose to tip of tail.
