Koi carp are essentially pond fish (they were bred to be broad backed and colourful from above for pond viewing). They are omnivorous and like most other fish will eat any fish small enough to fit in their mouths if they are hungry. Match sizes and all should be OK. Remember Koi grow to over 24 inches long.
