Blaine,
I got another call for grass carp today. The caller thought they might take care of a filamentous algae problem which I hear a lot. I explained to her that was not the case. I'm hoping she comes on here as I told her about the site.
The number one problem I hear about in ponds is filamentous algae. This particular pond owner has farm ground around the pond so it will probably be a continuous problem. The only thing I could think of was she may have use chemicals which she doesn't want to do. I also told her she may have to come up with a very dense grass barrier around the pond. She's been mechanically removing it but the pond is quite large and it's an uphill struggle even with a tractor.
I told her about tilapia and will refer her to Rainman if she can't find any, but there just isn't anyone around to supply them. The ones that raise them for the food market aren't interested in selling them for pond stocking even if you offer them more. Something wrong with those people! Don't they want to make money?
