Re: [GSAS-Member] Koi in an Aquarium?

[Steev Ward <steevward@yahoo.com>]

Actually, people often keep koi in an aquarium and they do pretty well. True 
they can
get big, but not right away, and it depends on how much you feed them. If you 
give them
all they want they grow fast and make a mess, but they don't need that much to 
live on.
I gave a baby koi to a friend of mine last year, and she keeps him in a 
fishbowl. He
seems happy in there and is very tame, but he is still less than two inches 
because she
keeps the feeding moderate, and things just don't grow as big in a bowl. 
Sometimes
people use a koi or goldfish in a tank with othe4r fish as kind of a bottom 
feeder
because they will clean up after other fish that might be sloppy eaters. They 
don't
mind picking at the gravel looking for food, and sometimes that can help, like 
when
you're having a Blue-Green algae problem.
