My question is why you want the vegetation. For aesthetics? That's OK.

I have 3 ponds with no vegetation other than a small willow tree that I control and have never had a problem.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
