Hi norazli,

There are many fold-away plastic fabric portable fish pond which comes with attached filtration system.
These are either retangular or circular in shape and some hobbyists uses that for quarantine tank
purposes or in Koi Show. To find out more on the product, you may want to contact Danny Wong
on H/P No. 012 203 8963. Danny Wong has displayed this product during the Sentul Park Centre Koi Show
held last year.

Please note that these portable vinyl ponds are only for temporary usage
and not for long term becos' the filtration system is not efficient enough for good koi keeping,
in my opinion.

Hello, I use pools! They work great! They are nice as nice looking as a concret pond , but they are great! They are made with the idea of kids jumping in and climbing on them, in other words they are built strong!They are portable!!! So the money invested is never realy lost, and at worst case, you can use them as a pool.What is important to consider is that you need to MAKE your filter system, pools and koi ponds are very different things, pools use clorine to keep them clean, so the filter systems for pools are not designed to filter fish shit!They are designed to filter a few small things and that is it, koi ponds and the filters are different, NO CLORINE, so you must make and use a BIO LOGICAL FILTER! I would recomend making trickle towers as filters, they are easy to make, and will work better than a POOL FILTER! Remember, the sales person at a pool store does not know the difference between a koi and a shark, he Should KNOW about pools, so dont ask him anything about a koi pond, he will tell you whatever to sell a pool filter , which cost alot more, HE IS THERE TO SELL!!! If you need more help , let me know!

Hi norazli,

I'm not sure of your location but if it doesn't freeze were you are there is the choice of building an above ground pool if you're handy. My friend Chad had one for ten years while he was renting and moved it often. You make a frame with 2 by4s. and exterior grade plywood and line with liner (Don't use nails- long screws or bolts are best to take the weight of the water pressing outward). The upper sill that you can sit on has to be made with something that is not toxic(untreated wood) but the rest doesn't contact the water. Put in a couple of papyrus and a trickle tower and you would be surprised how easy it is to care for. I believe Chad's was 3 by 8 by 2 feet deep. He used a black net over the top to keep the fish in and other animals out.
