For a short time I imagine but koi can grow to 10" or more quickly.
How to properly raise koi:
Instructions
1
Place Koi in a well aerated and filtered pond at least 20 inches deep. You need to purchase a pond that is specially made to house Koi. The pond should be placed in a shaded area in order to keep the water cool.
2
Feed your fish daily. Koi need to be fed twice during the summer months and only once a day during the winter.
3
Clean your pond often. If you notice any dirt or debris in the pond, remove it with a net. You also need to put in fresh water monthly.
4
Purchase a water test kit. Koi need to be kept in healthy water conditions. To ensure the quality of their water, you should test the pH and ammonia levels on a monthly basis.
5
Use Dylox in the water every 3 months. This solution will kill any parasites in the water that can cause harm to the Koi.
