The Koi was probably bored! I think they are too dumb to be mean on purpose...

mine are the psuedodoras niger, the torkosui(i dunni who its spelled) it is the one i saw kept with tiny tetras, or the mekong giant, they can be kept with 3 inch giant danios!! and they are nearly 7 feet long!!! i disagree with oscar, mine was the meanest fish ever, he died of ich, i am now glad he might have killed my girls(my jds)

They probably aren't being gentle giants, more than likely it isn't worth the energy expendature to chase such a tiny prey item. For example,

This RTC at Swallow Aquatics in Norfolk isn't being nice to it's tankmates, it just is not worth the effort to chase down the healthy breeding population of guppies in the tank. I know there is a picture of a large Rhombeus Piranha that is living with many neon tetras, again it isn't being nice. It just isn't worth it. I can't remember where I seen it but i thought it was an odd but pretty cool combo.

I've never had a fish, no matter how gentle and 'vegetarian' they were supposed to be, that wouldn't eat another fish if it was in the wrong place at the wrong time and small enough to fit in its mouth. So....I have to go with the common pleco.
