Day 5 Update

The water is green but we have 50 water hyacinth plants floating in it doing some cleaning. I haven't filled it up all the way to where I want it because I'm trying to get the water clear first so it doesn't look like a giant gross mess. I may be optimistic but in the day and a half that the plants have been in, I seem to be able to see the bottom more clearly. It's green, but not cloudy green.
There is also good news and bad news: We have no more mosquito larvae swimming around / floating but I haven't seen the fish in two days. Except one. One died.
