I've never kept them myself but from what I understand you will eventually have to get a pretty big tank for them. Not sure how big though

I found this real quick... How many gallons of pond water per Koi fish would you recommend? We recommend the following GPK (gallons per Koi) rates based on their size: Small Koi (2" - 8"): 100 - 150 gallons Medium Koi(8" - 14"): 250 - 300 gallons Large Koi(14" - 24"): 400 - 500 gallons Jumbo Koi(24" - 36"): 750 - 900 gallons www.koiacres.com/koi/faq.html
