Default Plant filteration ?

Hi all,
I have recently built a pond (8mtrx4mtrx900mm) and have a stream 1mtr
wide 200mm deap and is 14 mtrs long, which has plants in it, in the
pond I have 2 lilly and a few floating plants, I initially put in 10
koi (about 8 weeks ago) and now I have an extra 15/20 baby koi !! I am
not really sure how many really as the water is quite murky most days,
I was just wondering if there is anyone who has a similar simple
setup, and what kind of plants you have found to be best for
filteration, I have read a lot here about filter media bio filters and
bacteria, are the plants doing a similar thing ?
cheers ,
Ray.
