Not sure if the picture loaded. But algae ID needed. When it is overcast, and cool, it is almost non existent. After a rain, none. Sunlight, it multiplies! I’ve seen it form. It looked like it was forming from the bottom of the pond.
If you can ID it, what are the causes? I recently died the pond Hopi g it would help. Has not helped.
I do aerate. (3) (2per stand@3 stands) 12” rubber cane diffusers. Around the clock aeration.
I can’t add a file. If I choose it from pic library it says it doesn’t have correct extension, if I take the pic it says it’s too big

Use a pic hosting site and upload it there. Get a bunch of tilapia to take care of your algae.

Can’t stock them in Missouri either. Makes no sense as they wouldn’t survive the winter.
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.

It's good that they die in winter. You don't want them to procreate and multiply.

Absolutely! That’s why I think they should allow stocking. Everything else they’ve tried like that has blown up in their face with out of control growth.
