What does your pond look like ... Today?

What does my pond look like today? Well... green and murky

I have suspended and string algae growing everywhere It really doesn't look good. Oh well, it provides food and cover for these guys:

My koi fry are hatching The water may look bad but its mainly because the rotting infertile eggs are providing to many nutrients. Once these guys are larger I will begin doing more water changes, but right now I don't want to risk them getting caught above the water and drying out. It's a trade off.

I had green murky water a lot last year. This year it's stayed nice and clear but my bog is full of string algae.

Beautiful sunny day! Pictures of two of the babies that have color already.

This one I think has flowing fins? Anyone else see what I see?

Beautiful weather here today. The hyacinth is spreading in the sun. The tall plant on the left in the second pic is our new wild rice plant (potted).

Rice and fresh trout are a good combo

Boy those Hyacinth sure grow nice for you and the rice plant is cool. I suppose it must be hardy here and where did you find it?

Sounds tasty, huh? I think the hyacinth love the sun up against the warm rocks. The wild rice came from Falling Water Gardens in Monroe.

Do you send those images to Wunderground?

Duckweed almost completely covered the surface. Looking nice. I thinned out some of the Pickerel weed. Also brought the lilies to the surface. The leaves were getting covered by the Duckweed. Also cleaned the fountain. Little fishies kept me company.

Looks awesome.

The rest of the pond is pretty healthy. Clover has taken off. Lilies are healthy. Sensitive plants are coming back after the birds made a mess of them.

Sorry if some of the images are sideways. I took these with a phone.

It was a beautiful day here today. Just a few pics.

My stock tank quarantine pond.

New shubbies and a few of this years spawn in there.

Half barrel pond. Was holding the shubbies. Moved them to the stock tank yesterday.

very cool! I have more baby fish in my pond than I'll know what to do with. Most about an inch long now and growing. They don't even hide in hornwort anymore. I see them swimming around a lot. Meanwhile the two babies that survived from last year are hanging out with the adults all the time and getting so big now that the warm weather is here.

Fishylove, how old are your fry? Just wondering how quickly mine with grow

 

[Fishylove]

You know I'm not sure exactly, maybe a month old. There were three spawings so I'm not sure wihich ones go with which lol. I also have lots of babies with no color ( well kind of a greenish gold), and being a first time "spawing mom" lol, I can't tell what is what
It's interesting, some are more streamline like the ones I took pics of and some are more full bodied and look like a standard goldfish. Only time will tell I suppose
