    Before you can add a certain amount of Koi, or other goldies make sure you have the proper filtration unit to handle a pond this size.What are you gonna be using ? how will you be moving moving water/creating oxygen?

    I have 5 or 6, 7 to 8 inch koi in my pond plus a few smaller koi and some goldfish. I think about 20 in total. It is 1800 gal. It has been shut down since November ( no filtration etc, ) when the waterfall got disrupted. I am just starting to feed them again this week. They are all doing fine and I will be rebuilding the waterfall soon when the weather gets a little better. I found the fish will get used to you very quickly especially if you feed them at the same time everyday.

    Normal koi behaviour , not to worry.If you pick a spot and feed from there all the time they will get used to that.Shadows,bright light, quick movements will spook them.What are u feeding food wise? brand ?
