Default Fish ate my WH roots?

A couple of months ago my water turned murky so I quit feeding the
fish. Now my WH is crappy looking and the normally nice, long roots
are two inch stubs. ****ed fish eating the roots?

TIA

John

Possible they are hungry, but more likely they spawned in the roots and
then they go back to eat the eggs, stripping the roots at the same time

Hungry fish, eating roots. Fish are like crack addicts in a crack house.
They just eat and eat and eat when the eating is good! There is a reason
people call them pond pigs.

We had the same problem. No roots - dead or yellow plants. Didn't happen
in previous years. We do feed them well on catfish food.

speaking of piggy fish, I bot a beautiful water clover and put it in the pond
late in the afternoon. I do feed my fish once a day. Next morning when I went
to check the pond, there was only one leaf left on the clover, those little
piggies ate the whole plant overnite. I removed it to the filter where it's
recovered nicely.
