[MWG] Today's Pond Q&A
------------------------------- Today's Pond Q&A In this issue: - Algae- Looks like green fiberglass? - Fat Goldfish- eggbound or not? ----------------------------- Question> You already know what it is it floats to the surface and I skim it off it grows back do I need to be concerned? My pond seems to be doing well, I just added some reqular ole goldfish. any advice? Dave & Judy Colfesh == Answer> There are some Microbe Lift products which will work in controlling and removing algae for you. You don't necessarily need be concerned as it won't harm the fish, but it doesn't look that nice, does it? It is definitely a form of algae, either blanketweed or string algae. Microbelift PL and Barley Straw Pellets (or Extract) work together to eliminate the nutrients that algae feeds on without harming humans, plants or fish in the pond. - Carolyn == Question> Dear Carolyn, I have a goldfish that I have had since June and I'm quite sure it was pregnant. It is very fat, however it is still very fat and appears to be very healthy. Shouldn't it have laid the eggs by now? Thanks, Brenda == Answer> Brenda, I am not sure what type of goldfish you bought, but some are just built with large bodies and not necessarily ready to spawn. Goldfish are known for their prolific regeneration properties, so I can't even venture a guess as to the real reason the fish is fat, but if a fish is female, doesn't lay the eggs in this season, she will simply reabsorb them and try again next year. - Carolyn Happy Pondkeeping!
