koi pond

Ornamental fish pool

A koi pond is an outdoor pool designed to keep koi—large, colorful ornamental carp originally bred in Japan.

These ponds are typically shallow with clear water, often featuring filtration systems, aquatic plants, and decorative elements like rocks or small waterfalls.

Koi ponds appear in Japanese-style gardens and as backyard features: They spent weekends feeding the fish in their koi pond.
