Tadpoles / Removing Algae

-------------------------------
Today's Pond Q&A

In this issue:

- Tadpoles

- Removing Algae

-----------------------------

Question #1>


Hi Carolyn,

I have a small (100 gallons) Koi pond. By using the proper pond
clarifier and algae-fix bought from you, the water reaches a stable
level of clarity.

Lately at around 3 or 4 am I heard frogs (or toads?) making loud
noise around the pond area, and when morning comes I found a lot of
eggs being laid on the surface of the water.

Is there any effective way to get rid of these eggs or frogs ?

Thank You.

Answer #1>

Hi,

Now, why would you want to get rid of the eggs?? These are probably
the best bug eaters money can buy and you are getting them for
free. They can be very endearing too.

Seriously, they aren't going to remain in the pond and not all the
tadpoles will live to maturity. If you have fish in the pond, some
of the tadpoles may be a choice morsel.

When the mosquitoes and gnats are out and biting you, you'll wish
you had those beasties.

Regards,
Carolyn

Question #2>

Hi Carolyn,

I live in Northern Ontario and so always bring the fish in for the
winter. This year we put them back in the pond and although
everyone survived the move the pond has become slimier than normal.

The water is clear as we use a uv light and also a large rock and
fibre filter yet more algae is growing on the bottom, sides and
even on the rocks of the waterfall than last year.

Any suggestions on how to safely remove the algae without
disturbing the fish?

Thanks

==


Answer #2>

Hi,

The algae won't hurt the fish. Many ponds are experiencing more
than usual algal growth this year due to a mild winter followed by
a very warm spring in most of the US, not sure what the weather has
done up there, but can't be that different, just cooler.

I would recommend keeping the filter and pond as clean as possible,
doing water changes weekly, 25%, and keeping in mind that those
fish have grown since last spring, 2005, so the pond is not the
same this year.

In order to reduce the nutrients that algae need to thrive you will
need to monitor your feeding regimen. Less is better in most
cases.

Besides the water changes and sensible feeding, you can use Barley
Straw Pellets to bind the nitrates and phosphates. You also may
look at adding more plants to the pond.

Regards,
Carolyn
