Koi Carp are very large fish growing to over 24 inches. They should be kept in ponds outdoors not in fish tanks. All fish produce ammonia (including Koi) so all fish need their water filtered to remove this poison.The basic rules for successfull fishkeeping are. 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water (A Koi is a 24inch fish) :- Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you follow the above rules your fish will stand a reasonable chance of surviving. If you don't, then I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick and will die much sooner than it should.

What size tank can you put koi in I have a 30 gallon tank and want to get some koi?
That depends on if you fit the fish to the tank, or fit the tank to the fish. Koi will grow to the size of the tank. The bigger the tank, the bigger they will grow. You can put about 6 4 inch Koi in a 30 gallon tank. And of course, the bigger the fish, you need to adjust your tank size. The koi will quickly outgrow your tank! They will be like prisoners in a cell, not able to move around. Probably enough to survive if you keep up the waterchanges, but not enough to thrive. Koi belong in a pond.
