barley straw great just put a small amount in bottom half of a pair of old tights with a stone in to sink it tie it to the side of the pond and it clears the water in a few days having said that i only have a small pond now but i have had no probs with water for a year now according to form a pond settles down or matures after about 4 years or so also i have two lilly plants in that covers 2 thirds of the surface with its pads so keeping a lot of direct sun of the water last year i had a lots of flowers pink white and deep red off them this year with the poor summer not so good loads of frogs this year they dont half make a noise in the spring as for the young not a lot you can do about the survival rate the bigger fish eat most
