Is there any way to have a koi pond in Phoenix?
My pool temperature gets to 90 degrees. and I understand koi prefer the water temp to stay below 80. If the pond is deep enough would they be OK? Thanks for any information. I have built two koi ponds in Tennessee, but obviously Phoenix is much hotter.
yes I just built one in houston tx
you have to dig one part deep so when the weather is hot they have a place to hide. I built a bridge over onside it provided shade and i dug down under the bridge so they would have a cold spot. they have grown very well and dont seem to mind the weather and temp of the water

you may have to buy an aquarium chiller.
which is a very costly piece of equipment but will keep the temp desirable. they run anywhere between $50 and $400 depending on the size of your pond.
i hope this helps.
