Unless you plan of having a 150+ gallon aquarium, I think it is cruel to put
that large of a fish in such a small area.  I always hate it when I see an
aquarium containing a fish which can hardly even turn around.

Koi are a lot like goldfish (actually they are related).  Perhaps some fancy
goldfish would suit your tastes?
