Check the water chemistry. Confirm ammonia and nitrite levels are 0.25ppm or less and nitrates are 40ppm or less. Use a liquid test kit or submit a sample for testing. Most pet stores or aquarists will do this for free or for a small fee. Partial water changes, about 30% can be done to decrease high levels. Use only aged or conditioned water that is temperature matched to prevent further stress or shock. My preferences for water conditioning are AmQuel Plus and NovAqua in addition to StressCoat. Confirm water temperature between 78F and 80F. You can soak pellets in some garlic juice to stimulate his appetite.

Koi fry can be fed daphnia, brine shrimp (live or freeze dried), krill or hard boiled eggs ( remove the yolk, blend, mix with water and pour into the tank). Feed them multiple times a day. Once they grow some, you can switch to "fry powder". This is basically finely ground koi pellets.

It should be fine on its own. Once it gets bigger and you can definitively identify it, you can then decide to add tank mates or not. Continue to feed it the fry food. You can also use finely ground flakes or pellets.
