    How long has the pond been running, how large is it and what are the water parameters? Ponds need to go through the nitrogen cycle, same as tanks. If they’re trying to jump out it could be a problem with the water quality. Also check the pond size, if its too small this may also cause them to make a bid for freedom, koi in particular need very very large ponds. If they are gasping at the surface it could be a sign of lack of oxygen, the addition of plants and more surface agitation should resolve this.

    I have a similar problem with my pond. It could just be the time of the year- mating season. Mine go crazy and tear up any plants in the pond.

    Too much water flow. Throttle back your pump a little bit and see if they change their behavior.
