this is true. my friend Jo Ann went to pick up a pondful of koi when
somebody decided to retire. this was a friend who bought the fish from her
originally and the fish were always very, very busy moving around. when she
drained the pond she found a pleco that had been after the fish for years
and the minute the koi sans pleco got in her ponds they slowed down
completely.

when keeping koi and GF it is good to remember that all kinds of other
wildlife are not really compatible and could possibly bring in disease.
