Good morning! My pond renovation project was "finished" about a year ago.
From early on, I've had not-unusual FA issues all around the edges, which I've been treating with dye and raking as I have time (as Tilapia are not permitted in Louisiana). I've had a massive outbreak of BPW (Southern Naiad) to depths of 4-5ft due to frequently good water clarity.
And especially as of this spring I've got all kinds of new life sprouting around the pond. I think I've correctly identified some of these newcomers, using the Acquatic Vegetation Identification booklet sold on pondboss.com and the TAMU web-based plant ID page.
I want to make sure I know what is growing, and what I need to get ahead of before it becomes a problem (i.e. non-native / invasive species).
Please take a look if you're so inclined, and let me know if you have any ideas on the unknown plants, and if I've correctly identified the ones labeled by the file name.
