Duck weed and frogs

It's taken me years to get rid of the stuff on our pond, had to buy a skimmer (Oase SwimSkim) in the end and that has worked so far. Never seen any of our fish eat it, indeed when they gulp down a mouthful of pellets and accidentally get some Duckweed too they spit it out. Maybe it's not carp that eat it. Thanks, Bob. I'll look that up but probably not to be used until after the tads have hopped it?! We have all sorts in our ponds, some carp, some goldfish, some goodness knows what. All seem happy and are breeding, so something must be right. But the wildlife pond need the skimmer most so I'll look at that once the spawn has hatched. It will need cleaning out at least daily at first, then after it's removed the visible duckweed and other floating stuff you can extend the clean out period. There is always duckweed hiding in places to take over again. -- Regards Bob Hobden |
