Are Koi carnivores?

Ian Wellby says...

They are known as detritivores, which means they will pretty much eat anything. This will include insects and crustaceans, which they eat routinely, but they will only very rarely eat small fish. They eat a lot of vegetation and also rotting organic matter from the silt on the bottom of a pond.
