Grass carp can eat a lot of food, plants are their favorite food, including all kinds of grass is their food. Lotus is also a plant, and grass carp will eat them. In fact, grass carp not only eat the tender shoots of lotus flowers, but sometimes they also eat lotus flowers directly. For grass carp, the taste of lotus itself is quite delicious, especially the fresh and tender lotus. Grass carp will jump out of the water when they eat lotus flowers, and sometimes a fish will jump out of the water to eat lotus flowers, which will cause other companions to follow suit. If the pond where grass carp live belongs to the ornamental pond, it may lead to the phenomenon of ornamental reduction.
The above has been introduced, because the taste of lotus is better, grass carp sometimes eat lotus, and sometimes a grass carp jump out of the water to eat lotus will be imitated by other grass carp. Grass carp not only eat lotus flowers, but also may eat lotus leaves, as well as newly grown buds. Therefore, in the ornamental season of lotus, the impact on ornamental is relatively large.
