How do I get rid of algae in a pond?
user
The best way to eradicate algae in a pond is to kill the nutrients that nourish it.  A way to do that is to introduce the amphibious fish called the mosquitofish to the pond, as they will eat the algae and grow to a nice size.  This is a good alternative to chemical pesticides and is completely natural.

How long would it take these fish to destroy the algae?
user
Some species of the mosquitofish, such as the Eurasian minnow, can actually destroy the algae in a few months.
