So, the koi in my tank are getting considerably large and Im wondering...could I harm them in any way by providing fresh food such as shrimp, fish, squid, mussels, etc instead of the orange floating sticks? They love to eat fresh shrimp and Im considering feeding them other stuff...

Opinions?

Probably not. Using fresh food is a great idea for fish. I have used fresh foods on many occasions.

Try giving them some fresh orange slices. My goldfish love oranges, your koi probably will too - lots of vitamin C.
