teh water is turning green.


Water turns green because algae is growing in it.
The algae is made up of individual small cells. Millions of them and they turn
the water green.
To get rid of algae you should put lots of pond plants in your pond, do not add
too many fish and don't feed the fish too much.
It will take a long time to clear, probably about a month's time unless your
weather cools off fairly quickly.
