No koi fish grows to six inches. Don’t listen to Walmart, I have seen them trying to say Pacus grow to five inches! Yeah right! The koi will eat your betta as it grows, and if you keep it in 10 it will die.

I seconmd copperhead.

no koi stays that little. walmart is unreliable whne it comes to information about fish. and bettas prefer water temps of around 80°F while goldfish/koi prefer colder temps.

Koi grow to 3-4 feet. They shouldn’t be kept in anything smaller than a pond, except temporarily.

Koi (and goldfish) are coldwater, the betta is tropical and needs a heater, so they shouldn’t have to live in the same temperature – one of them will suffer for it.

The koi would outgrow the 10 gallon tank in about a month, or less. A fantail goldfish would be a good match for such a small tank.
