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.
