In search of Leiarius
3 Giant rapheals
2-3 spotted rapheals
2 Koi
2 shubunkin goldfish
1 Black Ghost Knife
1 Channel cat

In a

300 gallon Stock tank Indoors with heaters and 30 gallon tote for filtration running with 600gph of water through it.
 
it might work for a while but as I am sure you know Koi get HUGE! and will need to be upgraded to a much larger system eventually .
 
I have a 8'x2' round indoor pond that was a water trough. with a 1600gph pump and it holds my cats great. With that stocking it it will work for awhile. the channel might attempt to eat your shubunkins if they are snack size though. and like cakilla said the koi will prob out grow it. the other fish should be good for life in it though
 
i would say no because of the different temperature requirements of the fishes mentioned. some of your fish are tropical while others are better off in temperate.
 
I think koi can only handle and grow in warm water for the first 2yrs of there life..after that they wont grow any faster in warm and cant handle it as well. heard this awhile ago on a koi site
 
Thanks for letting me hear what yah think.

Heres what the stock will be now, decided against a much locved channel cat due to not wanting spotted rapheals becoming snacks.

If I housed the goldfish and koi in a different setup what catfish or other fish I would be able to add?
