@@CrystalClearAquatics I really enjoy your work Ed . Where else could we go and get real information and a hands on pond build tutorial. This is my go to You Tube channel. It reminds me of TV shows from 1990's ponds and gardens etc on PBS But the shows originate from the UK and surrounding areas. Keep up the awesome work.

William thank you so much for your very kind super thanks donation- really very generous of you! Glad you’ve enjoyed the vids! Best, Ed

@@CrystalClearAquatics you are more than welcome, I've not been subscribed with you for long, but I've spent hour's going through your previous videos, absolutely fantastic I've loved every second of them, will look forward to your next video. All the best Bill

Are you offering your services?!😜 best, Ed

Definitely up for a career change 😂! I live in east Sussex

Hi there, thanks for watching and commenting. Although some goldfish and koi may consume small quantities of the smaller delicate young duckweed plants, if conditions are favourable for the plant it will quickly colonise and take over the entire pond surface. I work on many ponds with duckweed issues, most of which house goldfish and other cyprinids, and have had no positive impact on the pesky plant. The only reliable method of control is manual removal. Some people say grass carp are a natural duckweed control, however in my experience grass carp will happily eat most of the other pond plants as well! Best, Ed

Thanks for the insight- I’m not surprised sadly, it really is incredibly invasive. Thanks for watching and commenting! Best, Ed
