Not to sound like a wise guy but get the biggest one you can fit and afford. Whatever you get should not be permenent. Koi need alot of room to roam to be happy. Not really siuted for a small tank. Meaning anything under 240 gallons. Maybe 180.
How big are the koi?
How long are you going to keep them inside?

right now the koi are about 6-8 inches.
That is true.

Would it be a stop in growth or a stunt in growth?
I think they would be stunted.
i agree--stunted. It won't grow to look like the beautiful creature it was meant to be (in a big body of water).
I have an 8" koi that I rescued from a 10 gallon tank. He is stout and has a bigger than normal head. I think now that he has more room, he will start growing again and hopefully take on the look of a normal Koi in time.
