Hello everyone, this is my first post I have a large pond ( about 1/2acre) with an average depth of an 6 feet.
I’ve got a couple of weed problems
The first is floating green algae, I’ve started taking this out with a floating rake but it’s a real pain I have 9 grass carp in the pond about 9/10” long I put them in over a year ago at 5/6”. Will they eat the floating algae?
I also have two other plants in the pond which get out of hand in the summer.
Canadian pond weed and curly pond weed will the grass carp eat both of these?
Last year I spent about 40 hours raking most of these out with a big rake.
I live in Yorkshire England if that helps.
