Not going to happen lol. You need a pond and to inseminate the eggs yourself, not literally yourself but you would have to milk the male.
Thz for yr reply.But I want to try in tank bcoz my new home doesn't have pond.

Isla Taboga Panama via Milwaukee
They naturally breed in spring in very shallow areas (only a couple feet deep), and the males are very rough on the females, almost pushing them out of the water to get them to release eggs.
Similar to the way these goldfish are breeding, and you can see the koi following, gobbling up the eggs, in this tiny 500 gallon pond.

If you set up a pool I’m sure you could get them to spawn.
I had my koi spawn twice last year.

I really doubt you’ll get koi to spawn in a tank. And it would be pretty dangerous if you did.
My pond is only 11’ square and they zip across in just a flick of their tail.
