Can there be too many plants

[woodturner with koi]

this is a photo of my pond, all the plants appear to be growing nicely, is there a problem with this many plants? Thw gnome at the top is my brothers and he is there to guard the pond at night or so he has told me. I have a couple of shubunkins and about 6 variuos gold fish, also last night I saw a couple of babies, hope some survive

Your pond looks great, that is not too many plants. Take a look at one of mine.

deffinitly not to many plants! your pond looks amazing, and I am sure all your fish enjoy the extra shade, food and hiding places!

Agree, with everyone that isn’t too many plants. Like addy’s pic I have plants covering portions of my pond where you can barely see the water.

I would like very much for my pond to have that much shade,

It's a fun plant. Grows and sends out runners like CRAZY.
