So Far 3 Weeks In Greenwater..., And the results are? Options

[Forever-mango]

Its been atleast 3 weeks since my Goldfish have been transferred into my 1000ltr pond with green water. The initial culture of greenwater was a success! Places afew oranda to seed the pond and test of everything was ok, then my collection went in. In these 3 weeks I have changed the water only once! Which was yesterday afternoon. The pond has no filtration, but it has aeration. The aeration in on 24/7 which allows oxygen for the greenwater as well as the goldfish at nights when the oxygen levels are low.

When changing the green water, I only keep about 50ltrs of it for reseeding the pond.

The following photo and videos are taken 2 hours before I seed the pond with the old greenwater.

Sorry I've been too busy with work and havent been on for ages.

Using green water is good, the fish love it very much until it gets too thick! I forgot to change the water for a month and lost 2 big pearlscales. I regret it very much! But the coloration of all the fish improved alot!

I now have some very black ranchu, growing up nicely and enjoying the green water. I did an experiment with my lfs. I was given 2 black ranchu from the batch as the ones my lfs used for the experiment. We feed the same foods, but i keep outdoors in greenwater and he keeps them in clear water indoors. 2 months late, my fish is pitch black and his is light bronze. And orange and white fish turn red and white.

A lot of my family members wonder why my goldfish are rich in colour and their fins are all erected. Im very happy that I joined this forum and learn so much about greenwater for the fish. Im trying it in my koi pond now

Here are some updates with my fish.
