I used to have five koi ~ but one got caught in the mesh around my water iris and died. It was so upsetting ~ so i know what you mean about interacting. I don't use chemicals either but in the winter (when I have the heater plugged in) it gets a lot of algae built up.

A friend of mine had koi.

Honestly though they are algae eaters and seem to do okay with no feeding. Makes it easier on the owner-think less work for me. <br /><br />Janet, I wouldn't know about not feeding the fish either if I didn't have some of my own here. It's good to know info. Stay safe.<br /><br tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-39114061147566437812012-02-24T11:07:28.485-06:002012-02-24T11:07:28.485-06:00They're so cute!

As for names, I had a friend that had parrots named Frick and Frack that I always liked. Also well know pairs like Roy and Dale or Bonnie and Clyde come to mind.
