Answer
I just got a message from All Experts saying I had an unanswered questions (I answer all questions within 24 hours).  I am sorry that somehow your question got lost.

How big is your porch outside?  How much room do you have inside?  For either situation, you can make an above ground pond.  They can be made from cement, fibreglass, preform plastic ponds, or from placing a liner over a wooden frame.  I have a page on indoor ponds at http://www.fishpondinfo.com/indoor.htm

How big are your 7 fish?  Which species?  You could also get a larger tank.  I have a 120 gallon tank (for a lizard, not fish).  An open indoor pond costs less than that but may have its own set of problems and differences.  Good luck!
