The GF will have a hard time trying to compete for food with the faster kois.

I believe it should not be a problem. But to be frank, 3ft by 2ft will be too small for kois in time to come when they grow big. Not sure what's your height too. Bio load will be heavy too for kois. Just my frank opinion.

But i started out with a small fgts too and upgraded it twice along the way...

Last time I kept many kois and they killed my two giant Ryukins. Everything gone excepts the body.

Bro ggg557, try to get a much bigger FGT if you seriously intend to keep kois. Re goldfish, I had 3 wakins together with 9 kois at one time without any problems. Only thing I noticed is the wakins tend to peck the body of my kois when they are hungry.
