I had the fish in a 100gal tank the 4 that died were -12 long the small
ones are 4-8 inches long,1000watt de-icer that kept the water nice at
45c.they didn't move around much because they are in hibernation.They were
in here since October.

Can anyone tell me why 4 large koi would die and 4 goldfish not?

Lack of oxygen? Filtration lacking? Not enough partial water changes?
Ammonia or nitrite buildup?

I have 8
fish in a holding tank for the winter and they all were fine and one day
my koi are dead ,no sign of disease or anything.

How many gallons is this holding tank and exactly how large were the koi?

The other smaller one are
fine.Were they getting too big?Needed more room?

Can you give a little more information?

==========================
I'm sure if you check there was, or still is a lot of ammonia or nitrite in
the water. That's much to small a pond or tank to keep that many good size
fish in unless your filtration was excessive (huge cycled filter) or you had
a flow-through set-up. They may simply have suffocated.
