We have a concrete pond with fish, and the concrete liner that is

cleaning a white surface, except I think that would kill everything.


Pressure washer.


pond stores sell algea killer stuff.


use with care.


OP could consult an Ichthyologists, or just borrow a book from a
library on garden ponds and water gardens.


nature is sometimes best left natural

No work, no fuss, no hazard to fish...........

basic ignore algea.
