Added some new pond plants but water turned all muddy :-( ...

Koi and goldfish are bottom feeders that suck up a bit of bottom
dirt/mud and if there is no food in it they blow it back out. They
are most efficient in dispersing a pot of soil and small pebbles
around the bottom of a once clean pond. I use larger than egg sized
stones in my lily pots and don't make holes in the pots.
=========================
Before someone asks.... these stones can be found at Lowe's and Home Depot.

some water movement thru as I don't get the stinky sulfur smell when I
divide those plants like I do from those in solid pots. ~ jan

Well, I'd go with that technique then! The sulfur smell usually also
means hydrogen sulfide, which is toxic to fish. Probably well contained
in the pot. But. Well, never too safe to be sorry as they say.
