Default plants dieing?

My floating plants (lettuce and snowball) seem to be dying on me. I have

a
small pond, around 800 gallon with 9 small fish. The greens are turning
brownish around the edges and generally looking unhealthy.

The water quality seems good, and the fish are doing well. I have a
waterfall, bio filter, and a floating wood chip thing (for keeping down
slime levels?)


Tom,
Where are you? Here in zone 5b, we have had chillier than normal
temperatures and a ton of rain and clouds. I had to throw out all my water
lettuce ($$ down the drain!) because it got yellow, then brown, then mushy.
All other elements in the pond are great: fish health, water quality, etc.
