lilies don't like moving water, so most set ups with fish are unsuitable,
unless you can arrange a quiet cornere out of any currents

I had 2 lilies in the fish pond and neither flowered, the koi attacked
one,
fatally! I moved the survivor into a stagnant pool and it has flowered
prolifically this year and last

Whereas my lilies are the envy of my neighbour who can see them from her
bedroom window. I have 5. I also have several large fish and a pump and the
ducks occasionally manage to jump in and splash about, and they flower
profusely every year.
