How are fish adapted to feed on their food?

That's a good question. You'll notice in nearly any fish that it mouth will seem to point either upwards, downwards or straight ahead. Fish that feed on things like insects and things that fall onto the surface of the water in the wild will almost always have a upturned mouth to make it easier to feed. A good example of this is the Betta. Some fish feed on items as they sink to the bottom or prey on other fish. Most of these fish have their mouth straight ahead. Then you come into the bottom feeders. Many fish like algae eaters and cory cats forage the bottom of the tank for food. Because they eat off of the bottom their mouths face down to make it easier to eat.

What do koi fish eat?

They eat fish food. You can choose to not feed them at all because Koi are bottom feeders, and the more you feed them the less algae they will eat. Feeding koi is done only for entertainment reasons. Though if you do feed them, we recommend not feeding fish more than once a day. The fish have plenty of things to nibble on in the pond, and the more you feed the fish, the more waste they will produce. The only time you have to feed your koi is when a new pond is installed, because there is no algae for the fish to eat. Also you must feed your koi fish less in the wintertime (depending on your area). Don't feed the fish when the water is under 55 degrees because the fish metabolism is slowed down and won't be able to process the food.
