How To Keep Fish From Eating Floating Plants

[Luke Griffis]

Hi, I have a 400 gallon goldfish pond and I recently decided to put various floating plants in it. The pond has about 8 goldfish, 3 plecos, about 70 plattys and some other fish that didn't go good with my other fish. The problem is that the goldfish decided that the plants were tastey and they went and ate the roots off of all of them and now all of the plants are dead. Is there a way to keep them from eating the plants?

In my experience, if a fish wants to eat something, it eats it
