## Description

Pocket Ponds is an ad-free koi pond game where you can relax by feeding koi, swirling the water, and interacting with the sand. Breed and collect rare koi, or visit the Mystery Pond to catch new fish—with one free bait each day.

Customize your pond and patio with decorations, explore other players’ ponds for inspiration, and share photos of your own design. Your koi will fall asleep while you’re away, so you can return to your peaceful garden whenever you like.
