roundup....please no...I tried a water reccommed herbicide, algicide.. ( on one offending plant) around the edge of my earthen ponds when they were new....got into the water somehow and killed every plant in it.....lilies, lotus, pickerel, etc.........had to start over from scratch......
Oklahoma has a russian amur (grass carp) that we use for weed control........don't know if it is legal in your state..........doesn't reproduce in still water, vegetarian,
some of mine are 15 years old, this one photoed is at least 3 feet long... hard to film ,this is the best I can do
