currently there are just BG, RES,and LMB in the pond. There are quite a bit of ghost shrimp as well as Gambusia Affinis. As far as vegetation, most of it is contain, however there are a few other pondweeds mixed in that have been almost suffocated, as well as a thick algae mat that goes the entire perimeter of the pond. I would like to get rid of most of the contain while keeping the ideal 20-30% perimeter vegetation as well. I figured I would use grass carp for the coontail (however dye and raking may be a good alternative now), and spray the algae mats with chemicals. Is this a good plan? I have predators... and too many. That's a whole other issue im working to resolve lol.
