I've seen people blame fish for making their ponds muddy/turbid. Catfish/bullhead and carp/koi being the usual suspects. Does anyone here have actual direct experience with this? As in, you added a new kind of fish and the pond subsequently became turbid? If so, what specific species?
I've watched them do it, if that counts...when I was a uni student there was a massive Amur carp living in a little pond I liked to frequent on campus. It went around like a vacuum cleaner. My great aunt's koi did this as well. I think they're the same species.
These are not the droids you are looking for. Perhaps I can interest you in a tiny ad?
