I had read something about feeding rice too so I steamed some rice with minced african tree snails and chopped seaweed, hoping that the rice gluten would stick it all together into a glob. Well, it didn't stick together at all - back to the drawing board. Rather than throw it away, I fed the mix to the koi anyway. The koi immediately picked out all the snail meat and seaweed but the rice was still sitting there on the bottom the next day. Maybe it's an acquired taste.
