Question
i have a 55 gallon fresh water tank with a coi {XXlarge}
and a gold fish what temp do i need to keep it at

Answer
Dear Jennifer,
Both Koi and Goldfish (except fancy goldfish) can tolerate temperatures from 36-90F so room temperature should be excellent for them. Try to avoid extremes if you can.

Koi should only be kept in a pond with a minimum volume of 1,000 gallons. Koi can easily grow to 3 feet and ponds provide the best environment for these beautiful, graceful creatures.

Best wishes and Happy holidays!
