FYI, this algae was gone when I got to the pond on Thursday. I’m not sure when it went away or why. There were no dead animals floating around in the pond. The fish were very active. I think I’ll start feeding again. Water is clear, and down about a foot. We haven’t had much rain in the last several weeks. I ordered two gallons of Cutrine Plus. Had it with me, but of course did not use it. This algae may have been the deadly one that kills dogs etc.. I have no idea.


9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.

No offense but that is an incredibly poor photo to be used for identity purposes over the world wide web. Maybe skim some out, place it on a contrasting background, then take a photo. Does it exhibit the texture of FA? The more information you can give, the more insightful the replies.

My best free guess, which is worth exactly what you paid for it: I find it odd it has the color of copper sulfate.

Ha, none taken. I assumed (incorrectly) that it would be easily recognized. I’ve never seen anything like it. Have no idea if it was particularly bad or evil. But I am glad it’s gone.
