& We committed to keep him going, healthy & happy. We have put in a new larger pre-formed pond liner, 135 gal, new pump & filter, air bubble stones (2-5" flat airstones) live underwater plants, & umbrellas to block direct sunlight. We are in the process of creating a "play yard" basking area that is fenced in with large basking stone, sand area, & a small feeding pond that can be easily cleaned. Just recently, learned of this website, & believe Lucky is not a he, he is a she. Now here is my big question...How do we keep the algae from growing in the pond!? I have purchased sucker fish, (which Lucky eats), moss balls (atleast 6), umbrellas, air stones, cleaning, feeding outside the pond (in an aquarium), plants, Oh PS there are some feeder fish that have survived "Lucky" & live in the pond too. I have considered the pet store algae eliminators, but don't want to use due to the chemicals, & I'm pretty sure it wouldnt be good for fish & turtles (even though it says its OK) PLEASE HELP...
? dont know how to attach the photos.
