Barley yes, but never heard of sweet potatoes. Stuffs such as lettuce, apples, oranges and water melon are quite common in the western countries, for koi as supplement. Because they strongly believe in Vitamin C

Sweet potatoes uneaten will cloud water so must give minimal they can consume..

I tried barley before last time. Bulk up the kois fast but may cause pot belly if fed too much of it.

Yup. After making barley water you can use the barley to feed them. Use moderately though if you intend to try.
