Guys, I have a 2 year old pond which is around 1.5 acres in size and 12 ft. deep at the dam. A few months ago I started noticing these weeds growing around the edges of the pond only in the shallow parts. I was told to purchase 3 grass carp for the size of the pond and they would take care of it. First, I want to know what is the weed I have by looking at the photos and secondly what do I need to do to treat my pond to get rid of it? Someone told me the geese travel from pond to pond and bring these delightful weeds. Don't know if it's true of not. Can someone please look at the photo's on the link below and help me out? Thanks a ton!
