Some time ago, busy with work and traveling.
So today came back in the office, checked the pond. Looks fabulous.
Link to video I made...shows the back and sides coming into view now, my target has officially been met.

Some observations:
1. Mr. T. doing great. He's his normal self and has been lucky with quite some prawns this week.
2. For sure the ID on the fish is a Mud-Carp, great cleaner-crew for the pond. The species is more difficult, but at Aquaria-Central I had some help. Ruled out the Microlepis, not enough scales.
3. There's green hair-algea growing wild in the 2 bogs and the grow-out. Pond is pretty much clean. That, to me, proves the Mud-carp and Tilapia are working hard to eat it all. They hang out under the water-falls a lot, my guess is to catch any algae that flow into the main pond.
4. Apple snails...growing very fast and helping on the cleaning job.
5. Need to get more cleaning-crews in the bogs and grow-out to keep them clean.
6. Koi doing great, every time after feeding Mr. T. with pellets, all that ends up in the Settling tank, I scoop out, make a ball of it, throw in the grow-out and they attack it like their first meal in 2 weeks. Koi in the main pond are just happy rushing around with the mud-carps and tilapia.
Cheers,
Luc
