Message: [QUOTE="koiguy1969, post: 125771, member: 1264"] let me ask you something...how big are your koi? im serem to recall reading your largest is like 5".....wait till their all 15" or 20" or more, then tell me they cant destroy hyacinth and water lettuce . at about 10" mine really started on the roots...now its the whole plant...they destroy them. pull 'em apart, shred 'em and leave the mess for you to clean up...its just more decaying pllant matter to mess up and foul the water. its like lillies...some mornings i net out 20 or more pads...they bite or tear the pad and stem off at the base (rhyzone) and eat the the pulp (meat) out from the bottom of the stem [/QUOTE]
