The average costs of koi ponds will depend on both size and additions. For instance, a smaller koi pond costs between $5,000-$6,000. Larger koi ponds, meanwhile, can cost upward of $60,000. Typically, these ponds will cost between $15,000-$20,000.

How Much Does A Koi Pond Cost?

Some koi ponds will come with a higher price tag if they are ecosystem ponds. These models cost more because they include two types of filters, rocks, fish and plants. Since this pond essentially takes care of itself, though, maintenance will be considerably less than regular models.

Here are some typical koi pond costs by size:

• 7 feet by 11 feet pond: $5,000-$6,000.
• 15 feet by 20 feet pond: $15,000-$20,000.
• 24 feet by 36 feet pond: $60,000+.

Koi Pond Fundamentals

Each and every koi pond will be designed to keep your fish alive and thriving. Professional installers may recommend that your pond meet certain criteria to provide the best situation possible for your fish. Most koi ponds will be larger than fishless ponds.

Average size requirements:

• 3 or more feet deep.
• No less than 1,000 gallons.
• 25 square feet of pond for each koi.

Adding shade to the area is crucial for the koi’s overall health. If the pond sits in direct sunlight, then it’s suggested to add some floating plants to the pond. Most of the pond area should be shaded to give your koi an escape from the sun.

Water plants are essential parts of any koi pond. These plants will help to balance the ecosystem, which creates a natural home for the fish. There are some plants that are oxygenators. These plants help your fish to breathe. Koi fish also eat many of these floating plants.

As long as your pond is not overstocked, these fish do not need to be fed. They can live off insects, algae and other food sources in their environment. Certain plants can be included as food sources.

Koi Pond Additions

Home and business owners can enhance koi ponds with several additions. Of course, this means the price tag will rise, but the visual appeal of your pond will be unmatched.

Here are some of the most common koi pond additions:

• Aquatic plants.
• Auto-fill system.
• Waterfalls.
• Underwater lights.
• Fountains.
• Steam.
• Ion-Gen water cleaner.
• And more!
