I would suggest you simply wait it out. Your Koi will eventually grow to be all the fish you will need in that pond. You could however add a few comets to remove later, as long as you don't keep them in the pond more than a year.

Koi get huge, so even though it may look dull, I think you are okay without.
You can't add any additional fish. You are at your limit. Your fish to water ratio is about 100 gallons of water per fish, and that's about your minimum for koi. Your koi are already reaching a good size and they will only grow more from there. I know it seems like the pond is kind of empty, but this is how koi ponds need to be.
My Koi started out at 6 inches long. They are now about 19 inches long. In a pond that small, you won't need any more fish, believe me. I fed my floating catfish food and they grow REALLY fast on that stuff. Give them a little color enhancement food now and then as Koi change colors all their lives.
no matter what you decide to put in your tank, remember some fish are temperature sensitive and will die in the winter, I have ponds and put feeder gold fih in them (comets) I bought a variety of them that have black, orange, gold and white coloring. I bought 30 and fed them well , some died, but have about 18 left. have had them 3 yrs and they are about 10" long now, have 1 9yrs old that is 18" depending on where you live you might consider bluegill or other sun fish too, if it legal, they can be a lot of fun
