how long until a koi reaches its fully grown size, and if they were in a tank would they only grow to a certain size?

It appears that depending on their age and under optimum conditions Koi can grow over 2 centimeters (almost an inch) per month or faster
modern Koi average closer to 80 centimeters (31.5 inches),

The average Koi can grow to 24 to 36ins. The size of the pond and feeding methods affects the growth of the fish.

Really really big...they need a pond. Keeping them in a tank and stunting their growth is cruel and will greatly reduce their lifespan. They will never reach adulthood.
