So what your saying is baby koi stay baby for life?
Unfortuanetly this isnt the case. Koi have been reported to live over 210 years. Search 'Hanako'.
Koi easily grow 3 feet under 10 years.
So you're gonna need roughly 1000G+ per adult 2.5-3ft koi.
By baby I presume you mean under 6". In this case, the 150-200G might last you what, a year maxxxxx?

Grow them out for 6mo's to a year (depending on size) then sell/trade them for new babies...unless you get attached to them, then you'll be building a new pond
