I wouldn't recommend it. For one, Goldfish are dirtier fish than most tropical fish.. they emit considerably more bacteria. Also, loaches are considered semi-aggressive fish, and may not interact so well with goldfish.
Koi and many other species of fish tend to sink to the bottom of the water or sometimes rest on some structure in the water and appear to doze or go into a kind of trance like state. Fish do not have eyelids so they can not shut their eyes as we do. They are never far from waking in an emergency or if danger threatens.

Can you put blue channel catfish in a pond with goldfish and koi?
No, unless you want the catfish to eat all your koi/goldfish--catfish grow fast and they will eat anything, including your other fish.
I have Blue Channel Catfish from about 1 inch two years ago, now 14 inches mixed in with both large and baby Koi. The Catfish eats the Koi food and interacts with them like nothing. I have never lost a fish. I think the key is getting a catfish when they are young and they can adapt, they're mostly bottom feeders and won't harm your Koi based on my experience. Make sure they start small though.
No! the catfish will eat your other fish.
Koi breed once a year around spring time when the temperature changes.
There are many factors that determines the amount of eggs a koi will produce. Diet or the fish's state of health can affect it. For a koi fish in good health and approximate figure is about 45,000 per pound of fish. Don't worry, the other koi fish will eat most of these eggs.

What other fish can you mix with your comet goldfish besides goldfish and koi?
Similar sized goldfish and their variants (golden orfe, etc) should be okay as should other carp species and tench. Just make sure all the fish are getting their share of food and there are no major size differences. Sturgeon are often kept alongside koi at retailers so I would imagine they are fine, too.
How often do you feed koi fish?
You only need to feed them the amount they can eat in three minutes once or twice a day.
People often overfeed fish but the truth is the fish are not very active in a fish tank cause they have a limited amount of space so they don't need a lot of food. It is never bad to put not enough food in because you can add more but when you add too much it is hard to get it all out. If you overfeed them than the uneaten food sinks t the bottom grows fungi on it and heavily pollutes the water.
How do you take care of koi fish?
Just like any animal, a fish needs three main things to be happy: fresh food, a clean habitat, and proper accessories.
To start, many people will tell you that "fighting fish," also called the betta fish, live in mud puddles in the wild and so prefer small cramped tanks. This simply is not true! While it is true that in the wild they live in shallow, still water; these pools are expansive. A wild male betta may have between two to three square feet of territory all to himself. So the first thing they need is...
Space. The minimum size tank a betta should be kept in is one gallon. You can find one-gallon fish bowls at pet shops, or plastic "Kritter Keepers" work just fine too.
Warmth. You must remember that the betta fish is a tropical fish. They come from Thailand, and in Thailand the waters are regularly around 72-82 degrees F. You must be able to keep your fish's tank between these temperatures for him to be happy. A small heater can be purchased, or you can simply keep him in a warm room. A thermometer should also be placed on or in the bowl so you can make sure his water is at the proper warmth.
Clean water. For the tank, you should either have a gentle filter or you will need to do a 100% water change weekly. Make sure you use dechorinated water, NEVER use city tap water as the chorine and chloramine humans put in it to make it safe for us is toxic to fish. And NEVER use distilled water, as distilled water contains no nutrients or bacteria that a fish needs to thrive. You can use bottled spring water, or simply buy water conditioner from your local pet shop. If you choose to use a filter, please remember it should be gentle. Bettas in the wild live in still water, and we've bred them to have long fins that act like sails in strong currents. A strong filter will make it difficult for your little guy to swim.
Decorations. Gravel or decorative marbles will help give the beneficial bacteria in your tank a place to live as well as look pretty to humans. Some small rocks, statues or plants will help give your fish places to hide and explore which will make him feel more secure. Make sure everything you place in your tank is marked as being safe for aquarium use. Some plastics aren't made to be in the water long term and can start to leech toxins that will hurt your fish.
Food. Betta fish in the wild eat insect larvae and freshly-hatched young insects. They need a food high in protein. Fortunately, there are betta pellets and flakes made specifically for these fish. Do not skimp on these and think they will be okay on goldfish flakes. A typical betta will only eat between three to five pellets per day, so a small pouch of pellets will last a while. You can supplement with treats like dried or frozen bloodworms, daphnia, or mysis shrimp.
Lastly, every animal needs Love! Your betta fish will come to recognize you as the "bringer of food" and will swim right up to the side of the glass and show off, dancing around, begging for food. Some peoples' bettas have learned to pluck a pellet of food from their fingers. These fish are very active, personable, and fun to watch. Make sure they have everything they need and you will reap the rewards of a happy, healthy little finned friend.
Yes Koi can live in fish tanks and will do just fine as long as it is has a fish tank larger than 60 gallons or 240 liters. It is actually best for them to live in tanks that are 75+ Gallons. This is why people generally buy them for there ponds. These fish have a lifespan of about 60 years so you can start them off in a smaller tank and buy a bigger one in the future. It may however just be better to start off with a large aquarium so you don't spend a bunch of money buying bigger and bigger aquariums until you have a 75 gallon.
How long does fish eggs take to hatch?
There are two type of fisheggs i.e. hard & softs celled. Soft celled eggs generally takes 6 to 8 hours for hatching whereas the hard celled eggs take more that 12 to 18 hours. The hatchlings come out of the cell and can only be able to eat after 72 hours.

The black Koi resembles overcoming an obstacle successfully, including depression, drug addiction, an abusive relationship and many other situations. The red koi often has the connotation of love, a very strong and masculine love. Red koi can also be a symbol of power and bravery. The blue koi is often very masculine and is associated with reproduction. It can also represent peace, tranquility and calmness.
Will koi eat other fish in a outside pond?
No. koi are a peaceful fish but if you have a giant koi that is about 9-20 inches in length then put in a baby goldfish the big koi might mistake the goldfish for flake food or a pellet but its not very common for goldfish or koi to eat other fish!!!!
How do you prevent koi from spawning?
In summertime, all you need is a pump to circulate the oxygen. Remember to clean the pump out, too. In the wintertime, get an oxygen circulater so the fish can survive below the ice. Don' t be too worried about feeding them while on vacation. All you have to do is feed them extra before you leave and they will do fine.

What does a yin yang koi tattoo symbolize?
This Symbol (Yin-Yang) represents the ancient Chinese understanding of how things work. The outer circle represents "everything", while the black and white shapes within the circle represent the interaction of two energies, called "yin" (black) and "yang" (white), which cause everything to happen. They are not completely black or white, just as things in life are not completely black or white, and they cannot exist without each other. While "yin" would be dark, passive, downward, cold, contracting, and weak, "yang" would be bright, active, upward, hot, expanding, and strong. The shape of the yin and yang sections of the symbol, actually gives you a sense of the continual movement of these two energies, yin to yang and yang to yin, causing everything to happen: just as things expand and contract, and temperature changes from hot to cold.
What does a star tattoo on the elbow symbolize?

Japanese legend has it that every year thousands of Koi, a courageous, strong, and dedicated fish, make a perilous and difficult journey up the Rainbow (or Dragon) river.
Out of perhaps a million Koi, only once in many years, one Koi is dedicated and strong enough to swim all the way to the head of the river, known as "The Dragon Gate" (or "The Rainbow Gate") and leap from the water.
He is transformed into a dragon. This tattoo tells the story of this little Koi's journey. Up the inside of the collector's calf swims the determined little fish. Against all odds he reaches the head of the River and leaps from the water. Above the metaphorical Dragon's Gate of the collector's knee, the koi-fish begins his transformation mid leap, becoming a Koi-dragon, before continuing down the outside of the collector's calf as a full fledged dragon.

If you're lucky, you might find one in the pound, but the GUP's goal is to adopt rare pets, turn them into green unis, and put them back, so they might get the krawks before you do. Another way to get a krawk is to buy a krawk petpet, then take it to the fungus caves. A morphing potion or a lucky zap might also get you a krawk.

What does a koi dragon tattoo symbolize?
The koi fish in Japanese folklore represents the overcoming of obstacles, because the koi fish travels up the yellow river and when it comes to the end of the river it transforms into the dragon; thus overcoming the adversity represented by the strong river to fufill its own destiny.
The Koi is the symbol of strength and will, the will to go against odds to reach the destiny. And the Dragon is the power and ferocity. The mystery and Aura.
The Koi Dragon is all about a re birth or new start/ begining. I.e. After a divorce/ bereavement signalling a new chapter in a strong willed persons lifrte. Thus enabling them to move on and start afresh.
Edit: Most of this is correct except actually it is a waterfall that a Koi climbs. Not a river. For the waterfall represents challenge in life. If the koi can manage to climb said waterfall he will become a dragon. Another words if one is able to overcome obstacles/challenges they will be greater for it
