Hi! I’m so excited as this is my first post here 
We built an above ground 8000 liter pond this spring and added several different oxygenating plants, lillie’s and 10 goldfish. The pump runs the water through a natural plant filter.
The pond has no shade.
I added a thin layer of substrate to the bottom.
And planted the plants in some pond soil and gravel in mesh plastic baskets.
Could you tell me why some plants thrive (bright green and growing) and others are turning brown?
I’ve recently added some pond bacteria and it’s really cleared a lot of the algae
Are there any plants you could recommend that would do well in this type of deeper water pond?
And any tips to keep the water clear?
I had more fish but the heron came by
.
Thank you for your help!
