Photo of Koi pond in greenhouse - bad idea?

It's not necessarily that it is too cold for them outside, but they need protection. I have seen the following on my property: black bears, eagles, blue heron, mink, marten... and I'm sure having captive fish would bring more creatures. Besides, the greenhouse is supposed to be the place I can go, even in winter, to enjoy the fish. Right now, they are in a 55 gallon aquarium and it isn't enough for the two of them let alone the two goldfish and plecos. Once I have a large pond, I can get more koi, keep them in the tank until they are large enough, then out to the pond they go. Here's another picture of the greenhouse structure from when we took it apart last spring.
