If you have big blobs of FA around the outside of the pond, pull it out with a rake and you will likely find some YOY. At least I do when pulling out FA. The fish will be tiny and you will miss a lot in the algae but some will be on the surface of it and can be seen.

FA makes good habitat and cover for YOY and a lot of little bugs forage fish like to eat. That is about the only good thing I can say about it. Ok maybe two things. It is a nice shade of green if you like the color green.
