Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Question about Aquashade Dye

Our pond is four years old and still has not cleared up. I really think aging of the pond and plant growth will clear the pond up.

I think having a cloudy pond is a good thing for your small fish and minnows to populate. It makes if more difficult for the predators. Ours has populated to the point where there is to many shiners away away to many shiners. So we have started adding a secondary predator walleye to the perch pond with the hopes the walleye will prey on the shiners before the young perch. Shiners being less picky and easier to eat.

Some cloudy water is good these ponds are a slow process and will come around.
