Aquatic plants such as Vallisneria spiralis, Fugui bamboo, Moss aquatic plant, curly leaf Eulaliopsis binata, pocket crown grass, crown grass and centipede grass can be raised in the koi tank and will not be eaten. The leaves of Vallisneria spiralis are long and narrow, and like Koi, they like to live in weak alkaline water. The leaves of curly leaf Eulaliopsis stand like waves in the water, and it is difficult for Koi to gnaw their leaves off. Crown grass is a large aquatic plant, and Koi generally do not eat it. Pocket Crown Grass is small in size and is also suitable for raising with Koi.

1. what kind of water plants can be raised in the koi tank without being eaten

? Some rich bamboo, centipede grass, Moss water plants, curly leaf Eulaliopsis binata, crown grass, pocket crown grass and so on can be raised in the koi tank. Here are some details.

Vallisneria spiralis is a common aquatic plant, also known as noodle grass, with long and narrow leaves that look like kelp. They have strong adaptability to water quality, like to survive in slightly alkaline water, and do not like high temperature, but also relatively cold-resistant, similar to the habits of Koi.

Euphorbia pulcherrima is slightly larger, but its leaves rotate upward. It looks like rows of waves, which is very beautiful. They like light, but they don't like high temperature. The most suitable water temperature for their growth is 24 degrees Celsius. Their leaves are large and rotary, and it is difficult for Koi to gnaw them off.

Crown grass has larger petioles, wider leaves and more plant height of more than 60 centimeters, which is a very gorgeous large aquatic plant. They are more suitable for living in neutral water, but the requirement for water temperature is above 24 degrees Celsius. The size of the

pocket crown is relatively small, and the general leaf length is about 3-5 cm. They do not require high temperature, and can survive at water temperatures between 18 and 28 degrees Celsius. Like Koi, they are eurythermic, but they need to supplement iron fertilizer to grow better. If you want to keep it with Koi, try to use decorations to separate it, otherwise it may be eaten by Koi.

2. Is it better to raise aquatic plants in the koi tank or not? It is not recommended to raise aquatic plants in

the koi tank, because the size of koi is larger and the demand for oxygen is higher. If too many aquatic plants are raised, a lot of oxygen will be consumed. Moreover, aquatic plants will release carbon dioxide, which will affect the growth and development of Koi. In addition, aquatic plants can also breed bacteria, which can easily bring diseases to Koi.
