Do Koi get on with other pond fish?

 Ben Helm says...

Despite their premium status as a pond fish, other pond fish will easily live with Koi as they require similar pond conditions and diet. This means, for example, that goldfish will easily live in a Koi pond, whereas the opposite is not ideal for Koi due to the size of the pond and filtration required.

Ben used to farm Koi for a living and has published three books on ponds. See his website watergardenersbible.co.uk for more details.
