Location: Pacific Northwest		I don't think the fish are for eating algae, they eat the mosquito larvae. We have goldfish in our stock tanks for the cows and they definitely do not keep the algae under control haha.

Yes Koi is a grass eater. They are in the Carp family and Craps eat grass and algae. But the algae has to get pretty thick for them to beable to grab ahole.
