I may try this but I did have trouble with fish nibbling at the roots of
my hyacinth which allowed them to go yellow and eventually die.
How do I stop this? I feed the fish everyday during the summer months .

Feed more often. Many books recommend 2x day. 3x wouldn't hurt IMHO.

it is in the nature of fish to nibble tiny things all day long. feeding fish more
isnt going to save fine roots. that is one reason I installed a veggie filter. it
is the roots drag all the wastes out of the water.
