Are Koi territorial?

<!--StartFragment-->

Ben Helm says...

Koi make such good pond fish because they have many favourable attributes – they thrive in still water, are tolerant of a wide range of temperatures and water qualities, and perform well on artificial diets. They are opportunistic feeders that graze rather than hunt and this non-predatory nature is born out by their non-territorial behaviour. In fact, it has been shown that Koi are gregarious, preferring the security of shoaling in numbers.

I have 4 Koi and 2 Goldfish in my pond. I have online community business.I have sold many koi but most of people not like online payments.Every time I walk by the pond they quickly dart down to the deepest part of our pond.
If you are doing it all the time, then yes. Previously I was using dsl but i am not satisfied with the result of dsl now I have decided to connect wireless internet.Only occasionally, then no. It is natural for fish to hide when they sense a presence above them. (Think brown bear catching fish.) Koi are different because we train them to lose that shyness by handfeeding them. If Koi were never fed by humans, then they would not be friendly.
