Anything with a face should be looking inward and almost never outwards, and with Koi, they ALWAYS go upstream and never downstream.

The koi fish should always travel or face up. The koi travels upstream until it reaches the beginning and then turns into a dragon.

Can a Koi be kept in a fish tank if so will it eat the other fish?

A Koi can be kept in a large tank with a power filter, it will grow as big as the tank!! No, it will not eat other fish, but it will torment them. Hope this helps.Newfieman Koi will only play with the fish, some people look at it as picking on them but they only play. Sometimes the other fish dislike it but that cant be helped. Koi will also experiment with slower moving fish, via pecking at their tails or fins to try and make them swim a little faster.oh, that sounds so cute! -Stargazer
