Default Pond Sludge - To clear or not to clear?

I've found sterlets are not very good at swimming through blanket weed -
they get caught up in it. So if you have a blanket weed problem, green
tench are better. They're smooth and streamlined not knobbly and spiky.
You put them in when small, they disappear for a couple of years then
reappear 9 inches long and very fat, basking at the surface and making a
huge splash when disturbed.


Huh. Typical teenagers!
