Your lilies certainly have lots of healthy growth & tons of blooms.  Nice sized fish, too.

There is never enough room for all of the water lilies that I want ;-)

I should do that sometime when my pads start to bunch up too much.  Do you feed the pads to any livestock?  I hear pigs will eat hyacinth & deer will eat lily pads.

We are retired, so no more livestock.  I do know that turtles love the spent blooms.  I hope the deer and antelope do not find my tanks.

I just throw them in an old tank and let them dry out.

I would imagine they make nice compost since you don't have anything to feed them to.

They really don't "compost".  They just dehydrate.  Of course, I don't try too hard.
