    Put the fish in a bucket with water from your existing pond. Then clean it out. Do not use soap or any chemicals. Because of space limitations, read how, what and when on my pondlady.com website. Hope this help. Shows you how hardy fish are. BTW, it's probably a goldfish, not a koi.

      Thank you so much I will get on there and it's definately a gold fish. I went to look at koi and they don't look like what's in pond. But that's ok I will add koi when I get it going:)
