Ive heard that koi will eat your plants. Is there any way that I can combine a water garden with a koi pond?
Although some koi-keepers experience problems with their koi eating or uprooting their plants, the majority of our koi keeping customers also have plants in their ponds. Use large cobbles on top of your pots (surrounding growth point) to keep koi from rooting. Plant protectors are also available to protect the roots of floating plants or to keep fish away from submerged plants and pots. Koi may find some types of plants too appealing to ignore. However, with plant protectors to keep the fish from rooting them up, you should be able to keep any plant that you wish to grow. You’ll find Plant protectors for floating and potted plants listed under Plant & Accessories in our online catalog. Click the Plants & Accessories link in the index on the left of the page and then scroll down to the bottom of the plant listings index where you will find a link to Plant Protectors. Many people will also create a 2-tiered pond. Keep the koi in the lower pool and then the upper pool can be used for plan
