Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Grass Carp

Israeli carp are mirror carp(a strain of common carp with large scaleless areas on body). They eat a small amount of algae but any or almost all algae control due to them is from rooting action in sediments and stirring up mud. The "mud rooting" while looking for sediment living invertebrates produces resulting turbidity and sedimenting mud particles inhibits light peneteration and stiffles bottom plant growth.
