Ive been planning a indoor pond in the uk at around 25 degrees Celsius = 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Obviously the pond will be very large and i will ensure all the koi are not small enough to fit into the Arowana's mouth. Also what other large fish would you recommend for this kind of set up?
 
Koi will be fine if it is bigger than the aros mouth....jardini diff story

Check out this guys youtube channel he has an amazing pond with arowanas and kois together with many others!

I myself want to know what people think about aros/koi together? yes or no?

Ive seen it done before but wanted more experienced input on this.
 
Do-able, definitelty. Recommended? Not so much... Just looking at the temp requirements will make you think twice about this set up. Koi prefer cooler waters where as aros prefer higher temps

As a kid we always had unheated/uncooled outdoor ponds stocked with koi. Where I live out gets into the upper 20's during the winter and up to the 110's in the summer and we never had fish die from either extreme. So saying that they need any type of specific temp is simply not true. You will do fine having them at any temp.
