Judging from the growth of a fish I just found near the bank, I suspect that the Tilipia did indeed control the FA and duck weed.

At the risk of providing expensive food for my year old LMB, I think I'll do it again next year.

Not smart enough to attach the picture but the fish is 11 inches long. There has also been a well fed Great Blue Heron hanging around that I expect has been gorging on cold stunned Tilipia.
