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.
Can you have a pleack in a fish tank with gold fish?

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

Could 3 goldfish and 2 koi live in a 10 gal tank?
For a very short time if they are young fish, as in fry. Koi can grow to be very large fish in short while you might have a pair of 12 inch fish on your hands. Koi should get 12" within a year, they are really strictly pond fish (and a pond of over 1,000 gallons). On average Koi get around 24" long, but some varieties can get up to 4ft! Regular Goldfish are also fast growing and should get at least 4"-6" in a year, and should be full grown at 2 years (full grown being 10"-12" excluding tail). For 3 regular Goldfish you need a tank of at least 75 gallons or a pond over 600 gallons. The general rule for koi is an for every inch your fish is long (excluding the tail) you should have 10 gallons of water. These fish aren't suitable for a tiny 10 gallon!

Does the koi fish need to be up or down?
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.
