Default koi and plants?



new to koi - 5 nice sized koi in 700 gallon cement pond - the local experts
tell us that you never put plants in with koi because they tear them up and
make a mess. Seems like they would like a little shelter with plants.
Please share your experience with us. TIA L.


Too bad the local " experts" didn't tell you a 700 gallon pond is too small for
koi. I'll bet they were the ones selling the koi right.? My koi ponds have
all kinds of different plants except lilies....they do play with them. For 5
koi you should have a 1400 gallon pond at the very smallest.....sorry Jerri
