I agree with you …
I agree with you Reflip02, our Koi live in Southern Illinois and we stop feeding them when the water temp drops below 55 degrees, otherwise (I guess) the food decomposes in the fish’s GI tract and the toxins kill it. Be sure your water depth is below the freeze line and the water surface doesn’t freeze over completely so the CO2 will diffuse out and the O2 in.
Kois don’t …
Kois don’t necessarily need to live in a heated pond, they are naturally from japan, where it gets really cold. During the winter time, the koi simply don’t eat, they will be fine though, as long as the pond surface doesn’t completely freeze up.

it depends on the space available for the koi to grow, the blood line, the food you feed them, and the water quality, ofcourse the common koi you can buy for 10 dollars would not grow too if it has bad bloodline thats why the koi hobby can easily burn a hole in your wallet although theyre truely beautiful fish. =]
