Dave Mackie is running an online Sudoku competition where his luxury home in Lancashire will be given away as a prize.
He has already received thousands of entries around the world, but will let his 'koi' pick the winner from the correct entries.
The insurance broker and puzzle fan plans to install a touch sensitive pad in the pond and when the fish touch it one of the 14,000 entries will be selected.
He hopes this will mean the fish select someone who will look after them when he moves out- though given it is random they are just as likely to end up with a cat lover.
Dave said: "As well as being beautiful and majestic creatures, koi have an aura about them and are very perceptive and sensitive to what is going on around them.
"They are the ideal symbols of love and friendship and I have no doubt they will pick the right winner someone who will get on with the neighbours and someone who will look after the fish themselves."
Once they've paid a GBP50 entry fee, entrants complete an online Sudoku puzzle to receive a place in the prize competition to win the stylish detached home, complete with sauna and steam room, on Lancashire's picturesque Fylde coast.
