a toad will eat a pond skater
they eat algae and dead fish
Yes, it is because without any algae some living animals in the pond would die. Algae can be food for some creatures in the pond. If your pond is just for admiring and not for living creatures, no, it isn't because the algae will take over the pond and no living creature is in it to eat the algae.
Algae mainly
No because some other fish eat different things in a pond.
Mainly spiders and other insects that fall into the water
they eat tiny insects that land on the surface of the water and algae
Like Most Sports....Pond Skaters eat food that keep them in shape. Such as Fruits, Vegetables, ETC. and Drinks like water, Healthy Juice, and sometimes Hot Choclate to keep them warm.
Pond scum is composed of algae; it does not eat, it grows by means of photosynthesis.
the plants at the bottom of the pond cannot photosynthesize and die as the floating plants are blocking the sunlight from reaching the plants at the bottom.the whole community of organisms there will be affected.
Pond scum consists of algae. Algae is an autotroph, meaning they do not need to eat. Instead, they produce food internally from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight using photosynthesis.Pond scum is a algae, a plant. It needs sunlight. If you want to not have pond scum, you need to aerate the water. Avoid plant fertilizers as they will just make the pond scum grow faster.
Gangs of Pond Skaters eat backswimmers although I dont know if they attack live creatures or just dispose of corpses.
