Think im gonna can the pellets, and switch to bottles of MILK

hmm.. yeah I would wonder about the side effects of such a high fat diet, particularly of mammalian nature upon them. particularly a diet thats not varied at all. Though I suppose there is some data to back doing this. Other then I/m fairly confident powdered milk replacement for cattle is dirt cheap compared to pellet costs. and stored properly likely has 2 to 3x the shelf life. I just have a hard time believeing the fish are getting all the proper nutrients they need to grow properly. I'de have concerns w/ fat around the heart or other organs, and an overall shorter life span in general. I'm not sure I'de complain as it sounds like a realistsic business adjustment to make, many koi farmers particularly in japan (and other places) take great pride in their fish and provide exceptional care to their animals. I'de be cautious investing in a "milk fed" koi.. but I can't exactly argue with the practice.
I really wonder if those kois would have shorter lifespans?
wheres the fiber they need though
and to add:
a mental ill client of mine totally HATES vegetables refuses to eat them just eats meat/milk/cheese and apple juice-
has alot of health problems as a result- premature balding- alot of kidney stones- I do wonder if those fish would have those type of side effects by the age of 21

One of the problems that many biologists have seen studying fish in rivers is that there seems to be too many female fish in comparison to male fish, and even male fish seem to have characteristics of their species' females. Apparently they believe this is because of the high contents of estrogen from women's birth control pills ending up in the stream.

So yeah, idk about side effects but if his koi are consuming estrogen the males are developing female parts, and with each generation he'll have more and more females.
