My new pond (Help and advice appreciated)

[j.w]

Are they stuck to the rocks and do they move? If not must be some kind of leavings from snails or water creatures maybe?

 

[Gags]

They are on the liner too...Its like a residue...they dont move or anythng...

 

[j.w]

I don't know and if I ever did I forgot

Algae?

Bloodworm larvae the UK has stated

Sign of a healthy pond

 

[j.w]

Really? I thought they just hunkered down under rocks and such in the mud?

Whatever they are I had them too. Probably a lot of new ponds. They will go away as the bio film forms.Blood worms are tiny so not sure that is what it is.

Maybe immature mosquito larvea. If they come up to the top of the water and hang then that's what they are.....They don't look like bloodworm....

Is there any flow in that water...?

Not at the moment. I'm just finishing off the waterfall

 

[waretrop]

Are they wiggling up to the top of the water...maybe hanging out there for a minute???

Not that I've noticed...I have seen some activity on the surface of the water like tiny skeeters

Building the eastern shoreline with Boulders , rocks , stones and pebbles . Planting in-between to soften the effect . Every stone placed by hand (I hurt)

@Gags it's looks so nice and natural! Plants make it look even better
