fred, here is link for the type of fencing that is green. The photo shows how it looks. That is a large lotus, "Mrs. Perry D. Slocum" just breaking dormancy. The koi is Zelda, a Showa and an Isralie import.

When I toss in the grapefruit it is halved, then quartered. But, if your koi arn't eating it by all means don't leave it in the pond. There are plenty of other treats to try. My koi actually like the cabbage and the romaine lettuce best. The romain is seldom because I would rather eat it myself thank you. Cabbage, again quartered, is cheaper and seems to give them more exercise.

I'm surprised you could find orange snow fencing in sunny Florida! I have not been able to find an online seller for the green plastic mesh but I will keep looking. I bought mine at Menard's.
