Hello Everyone I pond is looking very good water is clear and the fish are now swimming around as it warms up here in Kingston. The water lily bags have that soft algae all over them and the sign (labels) also, is there something I need to so or just let the fish eat it, the pond is 8' by 4' and about 36" deep. I have a filter outside and a pump down in the pond. Sure glad it is warming up and all the fish made it through the winter. There are about 14 fish but not to large, biggest ones are maybe 5 to 6". thanks

Let the fish take care of it. Don’t overfeed. It’s called “new pond syndrome,” so anytime your pond starts anew, the algae will take over until everything balances out.
