What are some healthy alternatives to regular flake/pellet foods?

Any kind of seafood, insects, fruit etc

cheerios, worms, shrimp, daphnia, mosquito larvae, green peas, oranges, watermelon, berries, duckweed, and water plant roots are some of the foods koi will eat.

Interesting! Thanks everyone, so these guys apparently eat just about anything like I thought lol.

They do - albeit koi can eat a wider variety of food due to a bigger mouth
What I love doing is putting a strawberry in my pond. They'll nibble for ages and then I'll just find the green bit swimming around
Dog food is the favourite in my pond. Very messy though, so I only feed it very rarely.

Wow my friend just told me he feeds bread to his lil guys

I do that, too. Another food which they love but should not be fed too often.

So u are pretty much saying I can offer things such as dry cat/dog food as a "treat" every so often?

Yes, watch out for your water quality though.
