Mohan Ghandi (yes he is related) is the proud owner of a very Happy Pond affectionately named the Millenium Pond in Malaysia. He is also an active and distinguished Committee Member of ZNA Malaysia Koi Club.

Mohan estimates the pond volume (including filter) at 300 tons and it reaches 12 feet deep. The number of koi is unknown, but the video shows that his breeding efforts are working as there are plenty of young koi alongside the hundreds of adult koi.

This short video was made by a fellow Koi enthusiast and member of the ZNA Malaysia Koi Club. More great videos can be found in his channel on YouTube: hooinc
