- Don't overfertilize plants; you'll feed the algae that turn pond water green.
- Don't overfeed the fish or have too many fish for the size of the pond.
- Remove decaying vegetation.
- Make sure 60 percent of the pond is shaded by lily pads or other plants.
- Keep water well-oxygenated with aerators, fountains, or waterfalls.
- Don't kill algae with chemical treatments; that will hurt plants, fish, and beneficial bacteria that live in the pond.
