I would like to add some surface vegetation to our pond, mainly for small fish to hide in. We have lots of submerged christmas trees and pallets/rocks. Our pond is 3/4 acre, about 10 ft deep, and slopes fairly well.
I have read on here that there are only certain types of Lily Pads to use, and wanted to know if these were OK. They are slick leafed, have yellow flowers, and grow quite profusely. These are from a 18" deep ornamental pond behind our work site, so they grow quite well. I was wondering if they would grow as fast when they get to deeper water.
Our pond is south of Houston, TX so it stays warm (hot). We have 2 grass carp in the pond as well.
If these are not acceptable, please recommend something that is good for fish but not overly invasive. We have the grass carp to control charra grass.
Thanks.
