Wow I love your koi's colourings!
 
What size is your tank?
 
Be careful with the Chinese Algae Eater (CAE), they can become very aggressive when they're older, some people have reported seeing them sucking the slime coats off of their fish! They're also not very good at eating algae. If I was you, I'd try to rehome it before it starts to become aggressive.
i am going to probably move them to a river tank or to my pond (my pond has lots of algae meaning lots of food)
i am pretty sure CAEs like algae
Here we go more pics,

CAEs will eat algae when they are young, but as they get older they get increasingly nasty. Check out the behavior and compatibility section of the seriously fish profile. http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/gyrinocheilus-aymonieri/

How large is your tank? How big is your pond?
shoot i think they get to about 11 inches better prepare a big tank or release them or put them in my pond hard. 
my tank is 120 gallons my pond is 3 meters deep 2 meters across and 8 meters in length
 
You'll want to find a different home for your knifefish too. They won't work out with koi fish in a pond as they prefer warmer temps I think.

But your pond is a nice size. I had a pond a few years ago, not quite as big, but it was very fun. We had a bit of a heron problem as the fish got larger. Is yours covered at all? My dad and I broke several coffee cups in our haste to rescue our favorite fish from one greedy heron. (We didn't actually throw the coffee mugs at the birds, but when you realize your favorite fish is about to become breakfast you don't really pay attention to the cup in your hand as you start flailing at birds.)
 
Kois are extremly hardy and adaptable we bought the kois from a warm-water koi farm  the pond is actually about 24-27 degrees celsius thats why we have amazon fish in there like clown loaches, pictus catfish, arowanas
I live in thailand and so there are no herons
My english teacher used to have a goldfish pond but there was racoons stealing from it
She also had a saltwater aquarium with gobys, clownfish, christmas tree worms, blue tangs, yellow tangs and some more fish
Darn Herons!

btw my Silver Arowana is not as flashy as normal silvers because he eats koi plant matter food which makes his scales slightly more rainbowish and greyish but less silverish.

Also when i was putting my arowana in a seperate temporary bath bucket for picture taking he jumped out of it and into my pond so cool!
