Water Gardening: Pond covered with lily leaves....., 1 by Dinu

Look at my pond. I have kept 3 pots in. Two having the pink waterlily bulbs and one has blue waterlily bulbs. They have been there for a year and seem to be doing well. No day has gone by without at least one blue or pink flower for the past 3 months now. I'm enjoying it from outside as much as the fish in the pond. I have a question. I had somewhere read that there should be some area on the surface where leaves should not be covered. Is that true? If so, how much area should be approximately left uncovered by leaves. I have hundreds of tadpoles and a plant that is pictured in the next post. Water is crystal clear.
