Pond Visitors

Reddog,

I found a a cheap trick that works to fight green water. Add Perlon (aquarium poly filter floss) to your mechanical filter. Take a large swab and switch it every day. It catches the tiny particulate that makes up the green water (even fine sponges don't catch it). A 1lb bag costs about $2 at any fish store.

As to pond visitors, I have had swallows come and dive bomb my pond (I believe they are barn swallows).

Have you seen the American toads yet this year? They've already finished breeding down here, but I'm a good ways south of you. Great shots, by the way.

Not yet, Hopefully they will be back this year.

Thanks G! It's nicer in person :silly:

how come the toad didnt dive into the pond before you took the photos? are toads naturally tame?
