[QUOTE="HanknCali, post: 1601973, member: 25495"] Yes have done it going on three years now and very pleased with the results. We put 50 “feeder” goldfish in each 600 gallon water troughs, both large plastic round tanks. The fish have done a good job of keeping the algae growth down. I still scoop the stuff off the top on occasion (during warm months) but mostly the fish keep it eatin down. Lost a few fish last winter during a cold spell when the top of the water froze solid but at about 8 cents each it wasn’t a major loss. As the fish get larger and more die off i just add 10 or 20 back into the tanks as needed. Cheap and easy way to “decrease” algae and larvae production. It’s worth a try [/QUOTE]
