Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Adding TFS to new unfertilized pond

Thanks! The clarity is probably due to phytoplankton, and the phytoplankton is due to the potentially higher nutrient levels and the higher alkalinity levels which allow the nutrients to be available to be used, which in turn is what the TFS are eating and why they are doing so well. Like I said, go ahead and add them to your pond, it's a cheap experiment!
