Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Choosing the Right Location

The first step in creating your own koi pond is choosing the right location. It’s important to choose a spot that is flat and free of obstacles, such as trees and rocks. You will also need to make sure that the location is close enough to a water source so that you can fill the pond with water. Once you have chosen the perfect spot, it’s time to move on to the next step.

Step 2: Crafting the ‘Fountain’ and ‘Pond’ DIY Recipes

To create the koi pond, you will need to craft two DIY recipes: ‘Fountain’ and ‘Pond’. Both of these DIY recipes can be obtained by purchasing them from Timmy and Tommy’s shop using Bells, or by trading with other players. Once you have obtained these DIY recipes, you can craft them using the materials listed in the recipe.

Place the ‘Fountain’ in the center of the location you have chosen. The ‘Pond’ should be placed adjacent to the ‘Fountain’. Use your watering can to fill the ‘Pond’ with water until it reaches the brim.

Step 3: Adding Koi Fish (Optional)

Adding koi fish to your pond is optional, but it can add more life to your Animal Crossing island. You can purchase koi fish from Tom Nook’s store or from players. Place the koi fish in the ‘Pond’ and watch them swim around!
