Someone mentioned in another thread that you can get bottom feeder fish like
the ones in tropical fish tanks -get some of those but be warned he also
said that once you put them in the pond you'll never see them again :-)

We use a plastic snow shovel and scoop out the excess every fall. We do it
in early fall, as in late fall we often wake up sleeping frogs that have
burrowed down in there.

500 Gallon pond, 10 goldfish, 2 koi.....and after moving some stuff
around the bottom of my pond yesterday.....lots of cr** on the bottom.
It looked like it was snowing poop flakes.

No bottom drain because the pond people kept telling me that I was
making this more complex then necessary when I was designing my pond.

Does anyone have any experience with the organic stuff sold on the
internet to get rid of the fish poo and sludge on the bottom of the
pond?

Are there any animals that live off of this stuff?

I'm really not lazy...I'm not, I'm not!

Is there an alternative to vacumning the bottom of the pond?

But the bottom feeder fish have to go potty too!
