Can you have a koi pond in northern Ohio or would the cold winter be a problem?
As long as you kept it heated to the point where it will not freeze solid in the winter then you would have no problem. The cost may be prohibitively expensive. A friend of mine keeps koi in high altitude Nevada and the temperature can reach 10 above, but not continuously. He often gets a layer of ice on his pond that needs to be broken away and the koi lay stagnant in the cold water. With a little ingenuity you could devise a way to lessen the cost of heating.
Can koi guppy and catfish be in one aquarium safe?
Guppies are tiny tropical fish. Koi are very large cold water fish. You don't mention what species of catfish you mean, and there are hundreds. But simply from what I've pointed out you can see that they are incompatible. Only an idiot would try to do it.

What is the meaning of fish propagation?
Fish propagation means a description of how fish reproduce (make baby fish). Some fish lay eggs, some give birth to live babies, etc.
Yes, if the pond water is cold it won't bother them. They stay at the bottom of the pond even when the top is covered with ice. They come back to the surface when the Springtime temperature is 55 degrees. We have been raising Koi for six years.
If you mean cold water from your kitchen sink, you have to put a treatment in the water so they won't die.
How do you get pollen out of a koi pond?
I suggest a skimmer box should be installed. They are similar to pool skimmers but the water gently flows in from the surface and filters out the pollen and anything else floating on the surface, connect it with your filter using a pump so clean water can be pumped out. If you don't want to invest in this, (it's pretty expensive), just make skimming your pond with a fine pool skimmer (you can find them at any pool store) every morning and night part of your daily routine.

How long koi fish live with out oxygen in fish tank?
Without oxygen or without filtration? Without filtration, they will survive by staying at the top of the tank gulping air until they have what they need to go about their swimming. That would take a heavy toll on their rest, and make their lives very uncomfortable. No oxygen, and they'd do the same for a short while, and then try to jump out of the and tank until they chock to death one way or the other after about 30 minutes.

What does a koi fish look like?
Koi is a domesticated carp and looks more or less like a wild carp. Koi, however, are generally smaller than wild carp and have been bred so that they are most well viewed from the top. They tend to be not so deep from the dorsal to pectral fins as wild carp. Neither koi nor wild carp stop growing, but the smaller environments (ponds and the like) in which koi are kept limits size somewhat.
Koi varieties include both single-color fish and multicolored, generally mottled, fish. Frequently seen colors are white, black, yellow, and a spectrum of reds tending most often toward the orange and of the range.
You have baby fish in your pond should you keep them away from the other goldfish and koi?
If the pond is well planted, some of the fry will survive although many will be eaten. It is entirely up to you. If you wish to catch and protect them all you will need some pretty large aquaria/facilities and have a big job ahead because there could be thousands of fry from just one spawning.

What do Koi Carp eat besides fish food?
Koi will eat guppies or small goldfish readily. In fact, koi will eat most small fish. They will also eat water vegetation as well. I suggest duckweed.
They will eat quite a range of things including:- prawns, cockles, crab sticks, brown bread (not white as it has bleach in it) also try brown bread with natural honey - they love it, lettuce, pearl barley, tofu, sweet potato, sausage, oranges, silkworm pupae, dried shrimp to rattle off a few, but make sure it's a varied and balanced diet you give them. Most of my list should be fed as a supplement to a staple commercial fish food, of which there are many on the market.
I'm sure that they're not good for them, but my grandson started a 15 koi riot when he threw his M&Ms into the pond. He had dropped them and didn't want to eat them - they must have been washed by the pond water, because the fish most certainly didn't mind them.
On a more serious note, weetabix (or Lidl's cheap equivalent, does their tummies no end of good, as do shredded wheat, especially if the fish are mainly fed dried food.

It doesn't make much of a difference where, words have their meaning according to their specific way of writing (kanji). 恋 (love) is one of the most common words that reads 'koi', esp at end of words or in complex words, since it normally is read 'ai' (love). But 'koi' generally could have a million meanings, according to context one can determine which of them is most likely.
It does have a lot of meanings but when added to the end of a person's name it means that they're lovers or boyfriend and girlfriend.
