Well, its happened again. I went through something similar in january of this year and it seems like im going to lose all my fish again.

Im guessing its golden algae or had someone tell me they think it could be mustard algae? Does anyone have a quick fix to help salvage what i have left.

Im on a 1/3 acre pond stocked 40 HSB, 500 CNBG, and a few hundred tilapia in the spring. They have all done great, spawned and been growing very well. My HSB went from about 4' to over a pound really quick and have been a blast to catch.

Anyways, this weekend we had some cooler weather for the first time this year where it dropped down to the 40's and then shot back up to 90 as usual. Seemed like that might have triggered the bloom as I went out yesterday and had about a dozen cnbg floating.

I went back out this morning and collected prob anther 60 fish, mostly cnbg and some smaller tilapia. The hsb havent actually died yet, but they are all skimming the surface slowly, and I can reach out and grab them with no issues.

I have a nice aerator I had installed this spring as I though that was the issue last time around and it has ran 24 hrs without a hiccup since i installed it.

The water is a def a yellow tint and the bloom is obvious but there is no surface algae just murky water basically and some moss like substance on the bottom which isnt uncommon.

Im on well water which was tested before we restocked and I have been pumping fresh water in since I noticed the problems.

Anyways, Im extremely depressed right now as you can imagine and was just wondering if there is anything that can be done at this point to save my fish, or what is left. Im not real optimistic on what Im going to see when I get home from work.

Also wanted to note the HSB I pulled out was very pale and really had like a pinkish tail and lips, if that helps identify anything,

anyways, thanks for listening and shoot me a reply if you have any quick advice. Ive got a couple water samples headed to overton right now to verify the algae, but doubt my fish last much longer
