Just wondering, figured you might know the answer. I have a few ponds that I fish here during the summer. The problem is they get choked out with different kinds of water grasses and it makes them unfishable. How many of these swans do you think I would need to get to keep a 2-3 acre pond more weed free? I don't want to try waterborne herbicides and I think these swans could solve my problems. Thanks in advance!

25 should do the trick I would think. If they start breeding then you can just release the older ones into the wild and keep a fresh stock.
