Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Identifying plants Is this the Chara I read so much about...?

I suggest you for the next few years remove some of the pondweed with a rake and add one or two grass carp. GC will only eat the lilies when all the other edible plants are gone. Stock only one GC and use the rake. Use the rake less as the GC grows and weeds become fewer. If after 2-3 yrs the pond weed amount increases add the 2nd GC. Keep using the rake each year to remove some weeds and use them as garden mulch.
