anacharis, water fern, creeping primrose, and parrot feather all grow
like mad in the winter cold.

We are in zone 5. My pond is up and running but gets uglier every

are moving about regularly.

With no plants there seems to be no hope of controlling algae. Are
there any plants that will grow and remove nutrients while the water
is so cold?
