Okay I have a 500 gallon pond with about 15-20 goldfish in it (commons and comets) and I really would like to take away the fountain that is disrupting the surface of the water, making it hard to see the fish and not giving the plants enough sunlight. The fountain is an extension from the filter that just pumps the clean water out in a spraying fountain straight above the water, creating lots of ripples, bubbles, etc. So my question is, if I stop the fountain frim spraying up, will there be enough oxygen in the water to keep the fish comfortable? If not about how many submerged plants would I need? I already have about one bunch of anacharis plants in there, some duckweed floating about, and some lily and aponogenton bulbs down there that I don't think are getting enough sunlight to grow currently. I have looked all over but haven't found an answer to my question.
