Many hobbyist keep Koi
in standard
large 125 gallon aquariums tanks or in an indoor 300 gallon pond with no
problems as long as it is not over stock with fishes.
Most common
Koi's fish health and aquarium or pond maintenance problems can be traced to the
unfortunate habit of keeping too many fish in too little water.
A rule of thumb for determining the
maximum Koi fish load for a given volume of water 100 gallon (aquarium or pond).
Koi Length 6 (inches) No. of
Koi Fish 11
Koi Length 8 (inches) No. of Koi Fish 4
Koi Length 12 (inches) No. of Koi Fish 1
Another rule
of thumb for determining the
maximum Koi fish load for a given volume of water is; one sq inch of fish per five
gallon of water with adequate aeration and mechanical, chemical and
biological filtration.
It is essential
to realize that as the Koi grow, you will have to remove fish
from the tank to maintain the proper load balance.
For example,
you might have
36 4-inch Koi in a 100-gallon tank today, but if they are cared for properly,
they will each reach 6 inches within 18 to 24 months. At that point,
however, the tank is four-times overloaded!
If you adhere to the fish load recommendations, keeping Koi in
standard aquariums is no different than keeping tropical fish or goldfish.
Good
aeration using a high-capacity pump is crucial in indoor tanks and ponds because
of the relatively poor air movement in closed spaces. The tank should always
have a dissolved oxygen level of 7 parts per million or more.
The filter requirements for a well-managed fresh water setup are fairly simple. A
good external power filter is very
important. Efficient mechanical filtration is an absolute necessity.

Specialize in the design
and installation of all types of water features including water
gardens, Koi ponds, fountains, streams, waterfalls and
swimming pool
landscapes.
Koi, in
particular, produce a lot of solid waste (because they
eat so much), and because
they also tend to nose around the
tank bottom, failure to install an external
mechanical filter will
doom you to a permanently cloudy tank.
Use good-quality
granular activated carbon in the filter
to remove dissolved organic substances from the water, it is an essential element
in
maintaining stable water conditions with indoors tank or pond.
Biological filtration is absolutely
necessary. An under-gravel
filter can handle the job without difficulty,
but it should be
cleaned weekly with a gravel "vacuum." Alternatively, you
might consider
setting up an external biological filter using
a separate, smaller fish
tank to hold the biological media.
Be aware that Koi are jumpers. You must keep some kind
of netting over
the tank top or you will find dead fish lying
around the living room
floor.
Designing, building and operating
an indoor pond is a simple project. An
indoor pond can be
designed to fit into almost any space in an apartment
or house. Using good-quality
water proofing building materials you
can have an indoor pond of a
thousand gallons for less than
US$200. An excellent filtration system
for an indoor pond
can be made out from standard materials found in any
hardware store.
