Parasites, anchor worms to be precise, came with a few plecos that I got a while, will be dosing the pond with anchor worm meds, this weekendVery nice video. The water clarity is great for an outdoor tropical pond, rather even amazingly clear.
What are the white protrusions / crumbs I saw on one gar, closer to the rear, and on the snakehead, which is gorgeous by the way? Are these air bubbles, slime, or could they be parasites?
Yes I use fast growing marginal plants, such as alucasia. Also plants such as. Hydrocotile verticillataSo the water is clarified by only live-plant filtration? Wow. I thought you must run a UV filter to eliminate the microscopic green algae aka green pea soup.
