    Default Some Pond Koi

    These are some shots of my Mike's koi that sure love to eat plants if given the chance so plants have to be kept high on the shelf to keep them from getting into the stems of lilies etc.

    They are just beautiful fish and what you said about them is the reason I don't have any. I'll stick to my little goldfish for now. I wish I could have some though.

    We heard they were quite the vegetarians, so that is why we don't have them either....but they sure are pretty ! Looks like he needs to thin them out !

    Jane!

    A pondful of koi--definitely a classy sight.

    They're beautiful, and your water looks very clear!

    What a lovely collection. Do they 'hibernate' during the cold?
