Default Budding Aquarium Plant grower - fish and plants

*Note: There are two *Koi-Lo's* on the pond and aquaria groups.

I think that plants in with Goldfish and Koi would be tough, since both
are Herbivores. I don't think the plants would grow fast enough to
satisfy the fish.

======================
Koi will grub plants out of their pots if the pot rim is low enough under
the water. I keep the rims around the water surface. Large egg-rock
(Lowe's) over the soil will discourage them unless they're large koi. They
also love the roots of water lettuce and water hyacinth. In my experience
GF don't bother plants much if they're well-fed.
