fish

The goldfish (Carassius auratus auratus) is a Freshwater Fish in the family Cyprinidae of order Cypriniformes. It was one of the earliest fish to be domesticated, and is one of the most commonly kept aquarium fish.

A relatively small member of the carp family (which also includes the koi carp and the crucian carp), the goldfish is a domesticated version of a less-colorful carp (Carassius auratus) native to East Asia. It was first domesticated in China more than a thousand years ago, and several distinct breeds have since been developed. Goldfish breeds vary greatly in size, body shape, fin configuration and coloration (various combinations of white, yellow, orange, red, brown, and black are known).

Some fishes eats or feeds on plants...

Plants are essential as they act as part of the filtration system, as well as a food ... Ramshorn snails are helpful by eating any algae that grows in the pond.

Pond Snails
  • Pond snails can survive in warm- and cold-water ponds. They are a natural part of the pond. They eat the algae, but the fish eat the snails, keeping their number low..

Fish
  • Grass carp is one type of fish that will eat algae. So will any sort of baby fish that live in the pond. Make sure that if you have more than one variety of fish that they are comparable.

TadpolesTadpoles love to eat algae.

Ghost shrimp survive well in ponds as long as the water is not excessively chilly. Ghost shrimp do not eat all plants, just the algae, and they will eat just enough to keep things in balance
