My first three years were spent learning the hard way. It got easier after that, thank heaven. Now I'm learning that keeping small koi is different from keeping large koi. Large koi are like a bunch of rowdy teenagers. They pretty much trash anything they want to investigate and they investigate everything. Plants in tubs have to be bomb proofed. No more water hyancinth or water lettuce or parrot feather which I loved. The make salad out of it in just a few hours. Besides lilies in tubs with protective covers I can manage some anacharis. Whoopee!

Some of the gang.
