Markp2483 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I have patio pond with white clouds and rice fish. I’ve been noticing a new type of algae. Looks like a staghorn variety instead of normal hair algae. It forms a net that sometimes traps these small fish. So far I haven’t found any dead ones but I have had to free a few of them. Any ideas what it is and tricks to get rid of it?

Markp2483 Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Would a goldfish help? Maybe a tamasaba or similar? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markp2483 Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 So far so good, has been in there a day. Seems to be eating algae off the plant roots and some duckweed (bonus) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 @Markp2483, that’s good but the pic is not loading?????? Not sure if that’s just me but it looks blank. Could you try again possibly? Weird, some times they just don’t load… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
