We had our pond (about half an acre) dug about two years ago and it has finally filled up. It does have aeration. This spring we added blue gill, bass, and minnows. We had a number of blue gills die. We have this floating algae I’m hoping someone can help us identify. Sometimes it looks like it’s spread out like in the one picture. Now, it’s in chunks like the other pictures.

The dog loves the pond and we want to swim in it but I want to make sure it’s safe.

Thanks for helping us pond newbies!
