Hey there everyone!
I recently moved into a property with a large pond in it. It seems to have some sort of growth covering the top of it like a carpet. I dont have experience with ponds so I have been googling trying to figure out what it is but i am still unsure! I thought perhaps chara but im unsure and wouldnt want to treat it or anything without proper identification! I have not seen any fish in the pond(possibly due to all the growth) but there is TONS of frogs and I have seen one turtle.
Can anyone help me identify what this is?
And if So, how to treat it safely without harming the frogs/turtles?
Also I should mention we haven't had a rainfall in a bit so the pond is lower then usual.
