Heh. I like koi myself, but if you re-read what I wrote, I was trying to describe an aquarium set into a landscaped greenhouse (as a tropical house). Koi might in fact damage the plants too much to be useful for what I'm describing, and the pool required would be huge.

The idea is a moderate sized greenhouse as a planted/scaped space to sit in, with an open-topped aquarium such as yours blending into the landscape. The book below describes setting up a humid, room-sized viv for butterflies, which are at risk of drowning or being eaten by fishes, but the principles at work apply for birds and herps also. You know the sort - harmless and free roaming casquehead lizards, small Phelsuma gecko sp, bananaquits, euphonias, etc.

I miss those kinds of projects.
