the client had an "activist" neighbour who's inputs kept it from being what we wanted to do/see, but so it goes. We did that neighbour's ponds also, so I certainly can't complain as I created that 'monster" and it's always good fun to run ideas with him 
Those irid.sharks at a good 14" long now & soon to overgown, but meantime quite stellar. while the lotus has finally sprouted in the upper tank. We're contemplating adding clownloach, but I kind'a love the mystery snails & how clean they're keeping it. Ah, the trades...

Here’s my outdoor pond with my fishes, rtc paroon, gar and tiger shovelnose catfish.
Thank you for liking my fish btw do you guys feed your fish with small pieces of tilapia when juveniles to average?

Personally use whitefish as I feed fresh water fish with a saltwater spiecies. More to be honest around what’s available to me rather than pathogen transfer.
But yes, small pieces of fish or musselmeat, but also pellets.

Here’s a pic of my outdoor pond it’s more of a feeder pond to a lake it’s spring fed from the fields with fresh water having issues with weeds and blooms tho as it’s only 4-5 foot deep when full, can’t dye it cos of the flow tried to build a bund to slow the flow down to try dye it, tried to raise the banks to make it deeper to stop sun hitting the bottom no joy at a bit of a dead end with it if anyone got any ideas it be greatly appreciated thinking maybe a membrane but don’t want to spend much money on it or turn it in to a costly project going to drain it today anyways and go back to the drawing board 
“Great looking outdoor ponds! The clear water really stands out. I’ve been trying different ways to keep my own pond clean, and recently came across Lake Weed Away – it really helps with weed control and makes maintenance a lot easier. Has anyone else here tried it for keeping their ponds clear?”
I’ve never used that but I would use barley straw extract. Another thing that could work is a uv, might was green green, my parents thought it looked radioactive lol. Threw a 60w uv on there and a few small water changes, and a little less than a week later water is almost clear. My pond is around 2000 gallons.
