A bit longer than you can live underwater unaided.

Not so i had 3 very large Koi snow was melting into pond I put pump in to drain some out & forgot about it Woke up the next day omg all water was gone & my 12' koi were laying on rocks sideways

took me 20 min to hook up hose & 2 of my koi came back the largest one is still on his side iam waiting & praying he comes back My answer would be when they R dormet for the winter it is easier for them to survive

they were laying like that for about 12 hrs

Does anyone know if my Beautiful largest koi will come back? & why the other ones did?

Save a few exotic species that can actually breathe air, most fish will survive a few hours out of water.

At least several minutes; however it is extremely stressful for the fish and not a recommended practice.
