OK Dude, you REALLY can't keep 2 koi in a 55 gallon tank,,,,,,thats too
hilarious, kind of like keeping 2 Hippos in a bathtub. Rule of thumb for Koi
(if memory serves) is 1000 Gallons for the first koi and 100 gallons each
for every Koi after that. You might get away with 5 goldfish in that tank,
certainly not koi, they need clean ammonia free water, something that your
tank will never be able to give them. Either dig yourself a pond for them or
exchange them for something a tad more suitable to your tank size. They will
slowly die if you leave them in current quarters!

No kidding.
It makes me nuts when I see tank packages with pictures for the 5g tank with 3
Koi and 5 Goldfish in it.
It boggles my mind.
