Thanks, i too have doubts about what will happen once the gator get big. why my first priority is to find him a home for when im ready to let im go.... please any suggestions appreciated. How long would a 3' deep 12' accros round plastic koi pool last a gator? just working through options.... if i where to keep gator for life, id have somewhere to put a paddlefish if some tits repeat last summers advents and import them again.... hate to see amazing creatures like his go to unsuspecting homes! at least i have you'll for advise and help and i will bust my nut to help a fish how ever i can...

It is very likely you could keep that gator in the 12' pond for quite some time. Years actually.. I do not think your Koi will be to happy about that though
