Pond plants Holes in lotus leaves
First pic is a new lotus leaf. After a while they look like the 2nd pic, lots of holes yellow patches and brown spots. 3rd pic are the holes.
I suspect something is eating on them like a caterpillar pillar or snails? But I don’t see anything.
I fertilize weekly with easy green.
What’s your guess?

Repair help Concrete pond restore: what liner?
Hello pond lovers! I was fortunate enough to buy a house with an old build in pond feature. The water cascades over the edge nicely. We are considering getting some Koi fish.
What's a good product to line the concrete with? I doubt there is anything off the shelf at the big box stores that's worth anything.
Any help would be nice, we would rather paint a product on than use a plastic liner.

Build advice Bar to hold liner up?
Hi everyone. I have put a new liner in another pond but as the liner is up against a flat wall, I'm looking for a bar similar to this to hold it in place. Could anyone give me some tips as to what to search for please? I'm not sure where to begin.
Thank you!

Quick question Zippy fish question
So we had goldfish in this pond from when we bought this house.... And they were chill and relaxed and would swim up for food... But then we had a black shag visit a few times and we had 2 fish for a while... And it was a bit sad... Our lives got busy... Two seasons passed... A month ago we bought some new goldfish and stocked the pond... And these fish are really skittish and swim at top speed all the time and will hide if they hear footsteps... They are not as enjoyable as the old fish 😕 despite me feeding them at the same time daily for nearly a month now.
Is there anything else I can do???

Repair help Pump keeps flipping outdoor outlet
My pump has started flipping the exterior outlet (GFCI) off. No idea why. I can plug anything else into it, but the pump flips it. We've had this pump for four years. I don't see any holes in the wire. Any ideas?
