My pond is about 12 years old and have always had good luck with lilies and floaters, but the last three years nothing will grow. Floaters will not multiply and lilies have limited growth. Fish are fine, ph levels are fine, but still nothing will grow. Help!

Welcome!
Where do you live? Is there anything different, such as the weather or other environmental factors? A lesser fish load? Do you repot and fertilize your lilies?

Fish are eating the floaters roots.
I live in Indiana. Did repot and fertilize some of the lilies.

Hi CKramer and welcome to gpf. Floaters need a lot of nutrients. It's possible your pond is overfiltered.
