Red Cap Oranda In a Koi Pond?

[WaterPond]

i was wondering if it would be possible to keep a red cap oranda in my koi pond, i have two koi in there right now that are still relatively small(8 or 9 inches) I have one two fantail goldfish in my pond and some commons, the koi get along fine with the fantails, would they be ok with red cap orandas, or any other type of fancy goldfish at that? Thanks!

I guess I'd be concerned that the speedy koi would out-muscle the slow fancies for food. Need to make sure the slow guys get food.

the fantails that i already have out-muscle my koi! i have one 5 inch calico fantail that pushed my koi out of the way! I guess i just got lucky with that though, thanks for your help, i wont get an oranda after all.
