I have been researching this for quite awhile for the lake I live on
a shallow at most 25 foot 14 acre lake.
1 - you have to have some type of plant life
2 - water fleas and or water daphnae live on the plants in the shade of the plant
3 - fry eat the daphnae
4 - bigger fish eat the fry
you can put all the fish you want into a pond and it wont mean a thing without plants
the plants also absorb the extra nitrogen from the fish poop
and
they block the sun and that keeps the algae down.
A great pond plant are impatients - mine are over 2 feet tall now - i put them right into the water
Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent

i guess its warm where you are at, the impatiens in my yard look more like dead sea weed than flowers now.
even a blind nut finds a squirrel every now and then!
