Pickerel weed must be tasty!!!

[Loritx]

I was watching my Fish Swim around the new Water Lily, when they Jumped into the Basket with the Pickerel Weed and started chomping away at the rootlets that are coming out the top of the rocks.  They dont seem to be eating the new Green growth, just the rootlets.



This is the largest fish. Mini Mo!  Named after my Dog Moana (both are food Agressive)


My daughter got me this Big Waterlily For Mothers Day.  Has big white flowers- not sure what it is called though-no tag on it - just tag saying 'hardy'!!

LOL....just be glad they are small or they would be eating the green too  ......

yep I was thinking the same thing. just give them time to grow more and the first day you forget to feed.. watch out plants.. nothing in my pond seems to be immune from them.

They love munching on the plants.  So far I've been lucky about it, a little here and there.  But, my Koi are much bigger and have bigger mouths so I know what that will mean.

I have really decided it has to do with the individual koi...my domestics don't really bother the plants...they will suck around on the roots but, leave the leaves alone....however there ain't nothing safe with my Japanese imports....they will devour anything that comes into the water...
