Pond by torchlight

That water lily looks fantastic, Pixi, in all lights!

Well its all shrivelled up at night..:)

I like the lilies too - I would like to get some for the look and to prevent algae :)))))

hhahaa! I still have algae! I had to cut some of the lilypads..the poor wee fishies arent getting any suntan!

Pixi & Paul, i always use barley straw in my pond and i dont get algea. I get it from the pet shop as its cheaper and every 2-3mths i change it with new, when i put the new in though i leave the old one in for 2wks while to new one starts working proper, i also do it right through the winter aswell.

Oh good idea I get some oxygenating plants..idk what they are lol

Sorry for your algea problem...touch wood never had the problem...doesn't the sun cause that problem!! just asking...

I think it is the sun that causes it, Sue...and too many nutrients in the water...
...oxygenating plants will help...and maybe change the fish food...

We also can put in stuff called Crystal O, which kills the algae, but is kind to the plants, fish and other critters...

omg i forgot to get fishfood today! think the fish would eat tuna? lol

Mine would...even the 'vegetarian'! lol!

LOL! have to try it I forgot again! :(

Pixi...when I feed the Fish...I use Pond Sticks...and the Cats line up for theirs as well...two each is all they get...they love it...:o)) Sweetie even tries to get it from the Pond...cheeky...
