Many water garden customers don’t use pond dye in a smaller pond because they want to see the fish but we do have dye specially formulated for water gardens. You can add as much or as little of the dye as you like, giving you control on how dark your pond is. This way you can add some color and still see your fish.

My water garden is 12x8 and 3 feet deep, I have never used pond dye and am curious about it. Will I still be able to see my fish at the bottom with pond dye? I have a question.

So adding 25%-50% of a regular dose monthly is a great way to maintain the dye throughout the year. Michael Chan,

The only problem that we have is that the Black DyeMond seems to need a higher concentration of black shader. It doesn't last as long as the Natures Blue does. It would also be more economical to purchase this by the gallon, especially for individuals with larger bodies of water. Otherwise, we absolutely love the dark blue appearance created with the combination of these two products!

I have woods on the back side of my pond along with manicured lawn on the front side. The black dye really enhanced the tree reflections on the pond, while having a tinge of dark blue when the sun was shining on it. I used about 3 parts black to 1 part blue. Try it out and let me know what you think. I discovered last year that using a combination of both the black dye and the blue dye gave my pond an amazing look.
