I grow duckweed in another container or containers to feed to my goldfish and they leave my water lilies alone. I also try to pot up my lilies in large and wide containers to give their roots lots of room to grow. I also add a little sand to the pond bottom just to give the goldfish something to search through. Lovely looking pond! I get flowers every year from my lizard tail plants.
In the guppy tub the Water hyacinth look like they need some nutrition. Maybe add a little aquarium fertilizer to water or some of the goldfish pond water.
@@mrdougs_gf I have my water hyacinth plants in full sun because they make more flowers that way. But they need fertilizer to do well. They can be grown with their roots in soil like other potted plants as long as they are watered often.
Awesome pond. I love the plants.
Thank you!

Thanks for that. I'm wondering if it's too much direct sunlight.

Hey bud what kind of wood did u use (pressure treated or not) and did ustain it or something?
The 4x4 posts are pressure treated and I didn't add anything to them. The trim is redwood and I applied a water sealant.
Thanks man looks good by the way
