Hey, have any of you used the Talapia fish for algae control? I know someone who swears by them, but I haven't tried any. They don't over winter so you'd have to take them in if you wanted to keep them.

We have a little watergarden where the pump went down and the algae is thick there. I did notice that we have loads more dragonflys since the pump isn't working.

I wonder how many different kinds of algae there are?

This is 'Perry's Baby Red.' It's a smaller bloom, but it has performed well in full sun.
