Grass carp - $14.00 each or more and will control weed growth (not algae) for 6 to 8 years. They eat Bladderwort Naiads, Chara Parrotfeather (Myriophyllum), Coontail (Ceratophyllum), Pondweeds (Potamogeton), Fanwort, Widgeongrass, Hydrilla, Spike rush. Also, they post no effect upon total standing crop, shad biomass, numbers of catchable largemouth bass, sunfish, and crappie, or numbers of young-of-the-year sunfish and bass. The plant removal by grass carp did appear to improve the condition factor of largemouth bass, bluegill, and redear sunfish.

I say stock the pond with these babies and sit back...
