Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Pros and Cons of Grass Carp

Dan,
I meant that the complaint was about the grass carp eating the fish food. Other than that few complaints one established in proper numbers. I do have filamentous algae popup in the spring even with grass carp.

Mark, I have never been able to acheive partial control. Like I said either all or nothing and I prefer nothing in Southern Ponds and do not see a problem with fry survival. We try to encourage artifical cover to provide a refuge rather than weeds. ALso someone mentioned buying triploids. They are required to be triploid in GA ( my license is $236 b/c they are considered exotic species) but not in AL. The reason is in case they escape they could possible reproduce in the creeks. They will however not reproduce in ponds even if diploids.
