I have had my pond 6 years and it has done very well. Last year my neighbours removed a garage on their property which exposed 4 laburnum trees.
I am lead to believe every part of these trees are very poisonous to my fish.
I spent pounds on netting with a very fine mesh and managed to protect the water from leaves and blossom....not to mention the highly poisonous seed pods. Now im starting up my pond again I have noticed some catkin like debris ( like a caterpillar) has been dropping from these trees and falling into the pond. What can I do im at my whitts end. My pH levels are 7. I have plenty of oxygenation including a waterfall....a bell fountain and 4 x 6inch ceramic airstones powered by an external air pump. My 12 10" fish seem very happy and healthy and I dont want to lose them. Has anyone else had problems with laburnum debris in their ponds?
