One of the things about large fish getting along is space more than gallons. A pond holding 150 gallons I would surmise has more floor space than a rectangular aquarium that holds 150 gallons so that works in your favor. What are the dimensions of your pond?

2x1x1 m

A " standard" 150 gallon aquarium is 1.83 x .610x .610 m. See how it's so different in floor space? Yours is much better for those larger fish. They don't need the height as much as they need to length and width.

If the fish are eating it and they are growing steadily and looking good, they must be working. You just want to make sure you feed a variety of foods so the fish don't get too used to one food in case you have problems getting that one food. Live fish and live worms ( earthworms) are good things to feed once in a while. My Oscars got live earthworms, live bugs, live fish and Grass Shrimp as just part of their regular feeding variety. I'm sure the rest of your fish would eat them as well.

Ok nice sharing so in my pond now the water is getting green on the bottom and clear water on the top in case of the fallen leaves of the plants so I keep removing it to reduce green color water or algae and also I have an cover to reduce sunlight to not perm green color also I use algaecide tablets I melt them for one hour so the my fish cannot eat them, and place the tablets in the water after one hour if melted also to reduce perm green water.

Limiting sunlight will help reduce the green water from getting started. There's nothing wrong with the green water because the algae will actually help absorb nitrates out of the water. It's just unsightly and makes it harder to see the fish.
