You could put one small koi in a 45 gallon pond, but you would have to keep an eye on it so that once it reached around 8 inches, you would need to move it to a larger pond. If you understand maintaining water quality, general care and feeding, koi are relatively easy to care for.

No fish is easy to care for and only one will fit into a 45 gallon pond. They can grow in excess of 2 feet in length and weigh 20 pounds. Get a book.

45 gallons is not very big. Koi are just large pretty goldfish so think about goldfish instead? 5 or 6 and yes, they will grow too.
Also consider area, does it get cold in the winter? too hot in the summer?
Animals in the area that will eat your fish? some bird species will eat them along with any cats or racoons.
I would hate for you to spend all that money on koi just to go out and find them gone. start with a few not so expensive golfish first and see how it goes
