If you mean a bowl like a glass bowl the size of your head that you keep as a centerpiece, no. Well, you can, maybe, while they're babies, if you have a filter, aerator, and don't mind your fish dying in infancy.

The only fish that can really be kept in bowls are bettas, and even then it's a good idea to have a filter and heater. Koi were developed to have a broad colourful back so that they look good when viewed from above. They are POND DWELLERS and grow to over 2feet long. To put one in a fish tank would be CRUEL!! To put one in a Bowl would be TORTURE!!!

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

Koi are a type of carp and can get very large. 135 gallons is not enough room for Koi to be kept for a long period of time. They should be kept outdoors in over 500 gallons, constituting a pond. Only fry can be kept in an indoor aquarium but then they will have trouble adapting to an outdoor environment.
