6500 gallon pond- I have 9 Koi between 16"-28" and approx. 50 of their babies....2" each
20 gallon indoor tank-approx. 50 more koi babies...1 to 2" each. I change 15% of their water every two days as this tank is too small for that many fish.

I think the guidlines are 1" of fish per gallon of water........not sure.......someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

10' x 10' x 22" - 1000 gallons maybe?

I had 11 fish, then one disappeared, then one showed up a year later hiding away under the uv light holders in the skimmer, then one died, then a baby grew up large enough to see. So 11.. lol! I think that will be it for the pond. Any more new ones will need to find a new home.

4x6x2ft. no idea how many gallons. 8 goldfish/shubunkin and they keep breeding!
FYI, it's aprox. 360 gallons by your measurements. That's good info to know in case you have to treat with any medications, salt, neutralizer, etc.

150 gallon pond- 3 goldfish, 2 small koi (although getting bigger quickly), and who knows how many mosquito fish- there seem to be hundreds even when I scoop a bunch out and trade them.
