Pond maintenance person sought

One thing I've learned is that the fish you choose can have a big impact on how easy your pond is to maintain. It's tempting to pick fish based only on appearance, but factors like pond size, depth, filtration, and climate are just as important for keeping them healthy over the long term.

Has anyone here switched from goldfish to koi (or vice versa)? I'd be interested to hear what differences you noticed in terms of maintenance and water quality.

We have two garden ponds, no fish as we have them mainly to support wildlife. Both are in need of some wildlife-sensitive maintenance work, does anyone have any recommendations for who might do this for us?
