Fish in cattle water tanks?

11 years ago

I raise grassfed beef on an organic farm in SE MN. I use 350 gallon plastic water tanks to water the cows in the summer. Could I put koi in the tanks to keep them from becoming green with algae and "seaweed"? Should I use a different type of fish? How many fish? There won't be a filter, but the cows drink enough water that it is completely refreshed several times a day. The tanks are kept full by float valves. Lots of air bubbles in the water. Water temp may vary from groundwater temp to very warm on hot days. Thanks for any advice. Tom Hunter
