to breed koi you need at least a several hundred gallon pond.
your tank is too small for koi. they're pond-only fish really.
see the link below for a spawning guide from the experts.

You can't breed themnot in something that small. They recommend at least 300 gallons for a 5-6 inch koi, you would need over 700 gallons for two.

It is quite difficult to breed koi fish. How big are your fish? It usually takes about 5 years for the fish to be mature enough to breed, and with that they tend to eat their own eggs. (Fish have tiny brains). We haven't been successful in breeding the koi yet because they like to eat their own eggs.
