Today when I checked my pond I found Green algae forming on the de-icer. Is this a danger to the fish? Can They eat it and get sick. The water temps is only a bit over freezing. Please let me know. RDK.

Not to worry, the algae poses no threat if they eat it.
Thank you Dr. Dave. RDK

Algae is good for your fish. If it wasn't, they would eat it. I have found that my fish won't eat the string algae.
After a spawn, the string algae that is stuck to the sides near the top gets trimmed to the liner by my Koi. They are after any eggs I miss or can't remove.
They also love to play in it.

That's right. My Shubunkin's really seem to get into the playing in the string algae part.
