Good news. If anyone wants to try Pond Perfect (I love using it this time of year to boost the beneficial bacteria in my ponds, clears them up pronto, and makes netting the stuff from the bottom of the pond a breeze), it's on sale at Empire Aquatics. Here's the link:

I read some testimonials on Amazon and a person claims this killed fish. I didn't think it could.

Wow, the Pond Perfect you're talking about, John? I started using it 3 or 4 years ago when someone suggested it when I was having problems with my koi pond being murky, and have used it usually only in the spring ever since. If they poured a gallon into a small pond, it might have done that. But, in my 4,000+ gallon koi pond, it only takes 8 oz at a time, and not supposed to add it more than once a week. I use it more like once every 2-3 weeks, and then only dose my ponds maybe 2-3 times a year and that's it. Anything, even the good stuff, if used to excess, can be dangerous. I don't sell the stuff, just really like the effects it has on my ponds.

I have so many toad eggs in the big pond, those little tads will eat everything in the pond, once they hatch.

Funny story ... Anyone that has horses knows that dogs love the pieces of the horse hoof that are trimmed off when the farrier comes. Well, my farrier was here this morning, and when I let the dogs out, it was like kids at a candy shop.
So, I have 3 Boston Terriers - Denali who is 4 years old, Quincy who is not quite 1, and Kea, who is 7 months old. Denali tends to take and stash many pieces, so she has them for later.The two "pups" were constantly fighting over the same piece of hoof, even though there were plenty more in the pile. Well, Quincy kept trying to steal Kea's pieces, so next thing I knew, she was soaking wet. I could not figure out how she got so wet! Watched her, and she was going into the goldfish bog in an area that is at least 4" deep of water, and digging in the pea gravel to bury her treasurers! She knew that Denali and Quincy don't care for the water, and won't go there to get her stash! How clever is that? Of course, I told her to get out of the bog, find some place else to bury her goodies. LOL
