Do you mean koi fish? 100g is not big enough for koi. They grow to 3 feet.

As for your original question, no. No only are the swordtails tropical and not coldwater fish, the koi will kill them.

No, swordtails are tropical fish and need higher temps than koi. Besides the point, if you pond has more than zero koi in it, it's already overstocked, as koi commonly grow to over 20 inches, and 36 inches can be attained if conditions are good enough and enough time is given.
