Best Answer

Algae have the potential to turn any garden pond into a suffocating, ugly eyesore. Some types of fish, however, eat pond algae. These fish are usually bottom-feeders. The best place to find information on species that fit your needs and region is your local fish provider, pet store, or hatchery. These sources can provide information about space requirements, habitats and climate
