I'm still wondering about the stunting of BG due to competition with GSH and TFS eating the phytoplankton. It was discussed in this thread http://www.pondboss.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=177191#Post177191
I looked up info on phytoplankton, but couldn't find some answers. Looking for some experts to help! What happens to the phytoplankton(PP) if there are no fish to eat it? If there are BG along the shore eating it, does the PP out in the middle move to the shore to replace it? I've read that if you start fertilizing to get a bloom or mutiple blooms, then you should continue the practice or there could be problems. Why? This all goes back to the same question about how forage fish affect each others growth..du
