Milky / Cloudy water in pond
Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this question but I can't find one
just for ponds, and you are a helpful bunch on here anyway. We have a small natural pond which has turned over the last fortnight milky the water that is, it is full of frog spawn 3 buckets to the local pond. Is this milky-ness a product of Mr Frog or some thing else? will it sort itself out, will it hurt the 6 fish (only goldfish but the wife looks after them). any advise as help please. Thanks Mike |

It could be caused by hibernating beasties waking up, and stirring the mud up, or possibly because we've had a couple of visits from a heron and perhaps the fish are fighting a rearguard action... very clever of them Depending on the area affected, it may be bird poo. A big bird dropping a "wet one" (I know; they are *all* wet ones, but it is a matter of degree) into a small pond can cause a widespread splash effect that dissipates quite quickly. -- Brian "Anyway, if you have been, thanks for listening." |

Thanks Mike I'm not sure why either... ours is milky as well at present and then literally overnight completely clear again. This doesn't seem to affect the pond life, as later on ‹ it's teeming with dragonflies, newts, snails and fish etc. It could be caused by hibernating beasties waking up, and stirring the mud up, or possibly because we've had a couple of visits from a heron and perhaps the fish are fighting a rearguard action... very clever of them |
