What Type Of Fish Will Go Well?

[elassoma_sailor]

When I bough my koi hoping to the baby eat snails (I’m starting to hate those snails) and I want a pond and I wont some kois and turtles in the pond in the future watching the koi make me want to have more fishes.I used to keep lot of fishes but then I bought some turtles(baby size) as they grow they eat the fishes and I stop buying fishes(except feeder fish ) but I want to know what type of fish will go well in a 5 gallon Hexagon.

oh i would want to buy another koi i though my other koi Is too lonely And will it be ok to buy another koi both in a 10 gallon tank?

i wouder if it will be hard to find a new hexagon hood because i dont have my old one.and son im gonna need a new filter and new air pump.an da new heater

I believe a 10G is far too small for one Koi, let alone two.
What type of set up do you have, filtration etc.?

i have a topfin 10 filter and a air pump and and light for Anacharis and the fish.
the koi is about 4 inch

I'm afraid that you may have to rehome it as it will grow far too big for the tank.
What are your water eadings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate?

i guess i wil have to save money for a 40 gallon tank then or maybe 30 gallon or keep him in the 50 gallon tank but then i dont want to since i have a red-tail shark in the 50 gallon tank and i know he will(or may) pick on him

i have no clue about the water eadings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate(im gussing i have to buy the water kit stuff)

Ideally, you need a liquid test kit to keep an eye on your water parameters.
I've been on google and can't find much about keeping Koi in aquariums, people who have keep them in huge tanks.
We sell Koi where I work and have only ever sold them to people who have ponds so this has stumped me.
I really do think that your Koi would be better off rehomed or in a pond.

well i do have a 52 rubbermaid tub home to my 3" turtle maybe i could put my koi in their(i should see how it gose.i hope my turtle ecept him as a friend like my other turtle they exepted the red-tail shark.
i was going to petsmart buying a hexagon hood for my 5 gallon tank but i didnt go to petsmart since my mom hate going to petstores so i went to super wallmart center hoping they got the testing stuff thingy but didnt find any int he pet section(i have no clue where are the pond section but it could be their or maybe the pool section but i domnt know where that is neither)
