So I recently moved and decided to change up my fish tank. I have a 75 gallon tank with 1 koi and 1 pleco. How big can I expect my koi to get? And before everyone starts bashing me about keeping koi in an aquarium, keep in mind that there is plenty of vegetation for the koi, I have a large canister filter, and I do water changes regularly. I do not plan on putting anymore koi in the tank, just the 1. I just want to make sure the fish isnt going to be stressed in this enviroment. I am not one of those people who try to squeeze too many fish into an aquarium and wonder why i have problems.

Koi can git 3ft long pepole suggust nothing under 1000gal as there pond fish but there simler fish to koi that dont git as large like a shubunkin I dont know if u can stunt ther groth but he will out grow the tank

A 75 gallon tank is really large. There are lots of big fish that you can keep in there. I agree with the above posters that a koi isn't one that you can keep in the tank forever (it will eventually outgrow the tank and need to go to a pond), but there are lots of really nice fish that you can put in a 75 gallon tank. Can I share my fish wishlist with you? These are fish that, if I had a 75 gallon tank, I would totally get. There are two different designs that I would love to have.

1. A planted tank with sunfish in it, maybe orange spotted sunfish or longear sunfish.

They're so pretty! If I had a free 75 gallon tank, I would plant it with lots of live plants and then like a dozen sunfish. It would be so pretty :)
I mean, look at this bluespotted sunfish: http://gallery.nanfa.org/v/members/rick ... 1.jpg.html
and this dollar sunfish: http://gallery.nanfa.org/v/members/Will ... 5.JPG.html

2. A fast flowing stream tank with rainbow and yellowfin shiners in it.

They're so pretty! A stream tank setup with a powerhead pushing water really fast, with the fish swimming in the current, loving it, that would be a great setup. Here's a sketch drawing: http://www.nanfa.org/articles/images/frontb.gif

And you could add rainbow darters to the tank, here's what a rainbow darter looks like: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HaJp5gHFhss/S ... re+189.jpg

Oh, I would love another big tank to be able to create one of those two setups. I mean, there are so many cool fish to keep. I have too many tanks already, though. But you're lucky, you've got a whole 75 gallon tank to work with :)

This is my pond
