Any advice for a first time Koi owner? Is it okay to have Water
Hiacinthe (spelling..) in my pond? I heard they eat up all the nutrients
in the water. Do I have to worry about animals trying to eat them? My
pond is about 3.5 feet deep.

Thanks


Sure you can put water hyacinth in the pond. The koi will
enjoy nibbling on the roots. You don't mention where you're
located. In some areas they are illegal.
