Scott,
Please leave the koi in your pond. This aquarium is not nearly large enough
to accommodate
4 eight inch koi. You say your have an aerator and heater in the pond.
This will be fine
to winter over the koi.

Hi,

I live in Ottawa, Ont and soon it will be winter. Actually, it felt
pretty
cold this morning. Anyways, My son has a friend with a large 65 gal.
aquarium for sale. It is 36 inches wide by 18 inches by 18 inches. My
thought was to bring the four koi (about 8 inches long each) in so that
I
could enjoy them throughout the winter. The goldfish would stay in the
pond
with the aerator and heater. I like the idea of seeing the koi but am
not
sure if I want to have to do a lot to maintain them. In the pond, I
wouldn't
have to do too much. Any thoughts?

IMHO, you will need to put a lot of effort into filtration to make this
work.
