What truly eats algae is water daphnae - basically fish babies but
unless your fish are breeding you do not have them and you can not
buy them.

I tried googling daphnae and nothing comes up. I think you mean
Daphnia.
Daphnia are not fish babies they are crustaceans. I raise them for
fish
food and if anyone wants some, I have plenty. They survive just fine
outdoors. Mine have lived outside through the winter so they are
already
aclimated and they love algae.

Hey, Thank you.

I would like to try some in my ponds. Is there a down side to these
crustaceans? Is there any possibility of disease? Do they get along
with Koi? (I have both Koi and local goldfish/carp in my ponds). Can
they be controlled simply by the fish in the pond?
