Algae can be harmful to fish in a pond if it grows excessively and depletes oxygen levels in the water, leading to potential suffocation of the fish. Additionally, certain types of algae can release toxins that are harmful to fish. Proper management of algae growth is important to maintain a healthy environment for fish in a pond.

Yes, you can consider adding algae-eating fish like plecos, Siamese algae eaters, or certain types of minnows to help control algae in a small pond. However, it's important to maintain a balance and not overstock the pond with too many fish, as this can lead to water quality issues. Regular manual removal and water maintenance are also key to keeping algae levels in check.

Generally you should remove the majority of green or red algae in a pond, for it could cause some serious problems. But if you have any algae eating fish (such as catfish), then the pond may be okay
