indoor....tank

[shadow1345]

i am going to make a tank. i plan on it being pretty big. i dont know how many gallons but its just big. my room is the basement so i have all the space i want. i plan on getting koi, red cap, regular goldfish and maybe black goldfish(black something). this tank will be in the inside not outside. i is most likely doing to be about 3 feet high, 6 feet in length and depth. and suggestions?

might want to do something like that. But Koi may need something bigger? Im not sure, but it doesnt seem like you could get a lot in there as big as they get.

trust me its going to be big and yea i think the kois will be happier in my tank then their old ones and did u mean you can i think u left an "I" in front of ur sentence

That is a very reasonable sized tank. Somewhere's around 800 gallons.

just make sure the koi have enough room to turn around and a good filter system.
i'd suggest not getting black moores (if thats the black something) to put in the tank/pond. Because of their eyes and rounded bodies they would have some serious issues competing with the koi for food, and could end up getting picked on or malnourished.
Also keep an eye on the red caps as well. While they have better vision, they would still be slower moving than the koi.
Then again, if you put food in several places maybe they would have their spot at the dinner table and all would be well.

yea it is around 800 gallons and ill be feeding at different places so there is enough for everyone to have some and yea there will be LOTS of room for the koi to turn around but i wont be uploading pictures untill i move to a new house but at that point im sure to upload pictures for u guys/girls to see. do u know where to buy the glue for gluing the glass together or some type of glue that is really powerful and water resistant?
