I have a 6ft x4ft outdoor fish pond which is 4 ft deep. I have a 3inch layer of stone chips at the bottom of the pond. I have 4 sets of aerators or aquarium filters areating the pond. I have a few water plants called the Amazon plant. What kinds of plants do i ideally need for the pond , so that my Koi Carp, Goldfish, Tiger sharks, and Sucker fish don't eat up the plants.

Fish food is plant or animal material intended for consumption by pet fish, such as goldfish. Fish food normally contains both nutritive substances and trace vitamins and minerals necessary to keep fish alive and in good health.
Fish food can be prepared in many forms. Pelleted forms are often used for large fish and outdoor fish. Koi food often has additives in it to enhance their colour. Another popular form is flake food. Animal matter can be fed to fish through frozen or freeze dried cubes of bloodworms (midge larvae), daphnia and brine shrimp.
Commercial fish food is often designed to float, and the fish then feed at the surface. This allows better viewing of the fish in a pond.
