koi are not herbivores, they are mostly carnivores with the short intestines typical
of carnivores ... they are like filter feeding (baleen) whales, they like the itsy
bitsy zooplankton. they do eat green stuff while going after the plankton. my koi
do not attack and eat my water lily leaves.

they will root in the soil to get at the worms in the mud. which is why rocks on top
works. Ingrid


Koi are herbervours so they will eat your lilies like a tastey salad.
