i have pond like this but i had to away from home for 3 months when i came home it was completely taken over by algae and common snails and my water lily only has leaves but no flowers also the water is such a dark green colour and the guppies have multiplied a lot. do you have any recommendations on how i can clean the pond im afraid my guppies will die if i change their water

Guppies are easy to handle.. you can change the water and remove the algae.. they will survive without any damage

May i know the proportion of soi and cowndung manure for mosaic plant?.. How should i place it? Which is to placed on the bottom of the pot either manure or soil?And is it possible to plant mosaic plant only in soil without cowndung manure? H

[@GreenLounge]

Cow dung is added as a fertiliser.. it is optional. But if you are growing flowering plants like water lily and mosaic, you need to add a fertiliser. You can mix them together or keep it in layers (cowdung at the bottom and soil on top) but you need to cover them with pebbles otherwise it will mix up with water

[@ambalibodhak2751]

Hey! I followed your video and made a water lily garden... But there is tremendous amount of algae even if I remove layers daily... The roots of the duckweeds have turned green due to algae... How to reduce this algae problem?

[@GreenLounge]

Algae is formed due to direct sunlight hitting to the pond. On day 51 I removed all the floating plants in my pond @ 4:43 because of Algae. You can add shrimps to your pond to get rid of alges. They will eat the Algae

Wouldn't adding the manure cause an unsafe ammonia spike for the fish? I would assume the waste generated from the fish and decaying plants would be plenty enough a fertilizer

[@GreenLounge]

I buried the manure underneath the soil by wrapping it in a paper.. it has to be done carefully otherwise it will mix up and generate ammonia spike in the water.. Waste generated from fish and decaying plants will also add up as a fertiliser but not to an extent for the flowers (water lily) to bloom. Within a week of adding this fertiliser there was a good result in water lily plant as you can see that in the video & guppies were doing good after adding the fertiliser. I didn't notice any abnormalities in them after that.

I would like to ask if the guppy fish is okay despite not having the water change, also what will happen to their poop? Won't it pollute the water when not removed? Thank you!

[@GreenLounge]

It used to rain in my place that's why I haven't changed the water in 3 months. During winter I changed the water every week around 30%. Since I have added sand as a substrate the poop will settle in them. Plants absorb nutrients in the water from fish waste. If you don't add substrates & plants, there will be spike in ammonia due to fish waste which is not good for fishes.
