You can simply fill up a cooler with your pond water and move the fish. Once you get to the new home, slowly add the new water to the cooler because the fish will go into shock from the immediate temperature change. The process should take around 20 to 30 minutes.
don't get trout get either koi fish or a big goldfish if you already have fish in your pond don't put in trout because it might not be adapted to pond life or the other fish [if you already have some]
Yes pond comets and other pond goldfish get along with koi, however koi can get over 24 inches long when a comet typically doesn't grow more than 12 inches- that's quite a considerable difference in size (which is why its often best to keep koi with other koi and goldfish with other goldfish).
They eat fish food. You can choose to not feed them at all because Koi are bottom feeders, and the more you feed them the less algae they will eat. Feeding koi is done only for entertainment reasons. Though if you do feed them, we recommend not feeding fish more than once a day. The fish have plenty of things to nibble on in the pond, and the more you feed the fish, the more waste they will produce. The only time you have to feed your koi is when a new pond is installed, because there is no algae for the fish to eat. Also you must feed your koi fish less in the wintertime (depending on your area). Don't feed the fish when the water is under 55 degrees because the fish metabolism is slowed down and won't be able to process the food.
Not sure about Koi fish, but with most other freshwater fish you can do an instant cycling and water preparation for your fish. There is products out there that should help add bacterial colonies, remove chlorine and add a protective coating for your fish so they will be ready for the new water.
Put pond water in a cooler with fish in it. Then bring it to the other pond and put small amounts of the new water into the cooler so it slowly adjusts to the environment. After about 20 or 30 minutes of doing this, take the fish out of the cooler and put them into their new home.

The koi fish in either black or red symbolizes wealth and success in China. This symbol is used to wish wealth and success in the new year.
Koi were developed in Japan and were selectively bred to be seen from above in ponds. (That is why they have very broad colourful backs in proportion to their 24 inch long bodies). They are egg layers so they do not "give birth". Given a very large tank they may spawn but one spawning can result in several thousand fry to try to look after.
