Pond Slime?

[Burd]

ive only had this little pond for 3 seasons, this season this slime is growing, first I thought it was cotton from the trees. You can scoop it on the skimmer, it seems to have started when I dropped in a water lily pot. Or is this common, good - bad for the pond. The frogs don’t seem to mind.

Can you post a picture?

I’ll post one in and some scooped out.

Algae, actually good for the water, your nitrates will stay low. Also produces oxygen

Looks normal, keep removing it as you can, stop feeding the pond if you do.

I don’t put anything in but water once in a 2hil3vtomtop off. I never had this until I put the lily plant in.
Well, I’ll scoop it out when I can. Thanks
