I have a fairly new pond that had a pretty big problem with yellow water primrose, alligator weed, and filamentous algae last summer. I would like to attempt to control this issue before it gets out of hand again this summer. I just read a post on carp and water primrose which was very informative. I'm currently waiting for my state permit to come in the mail so I can purchase a couple triploid grass carp. My main question is whether or not grass carp eat filamentous algae. This is a plant that can really makes fishing frustrating. I'd like to somehow control it if possible. Any help would be appreciated.

Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield.
