A coupe of thoughts, yes, "fish poo" should be effective but the costs (time and money) to gather it, move it, apply it etc. would seem to me to be far exceeded by other natural sources like the black kow.  If its in a pond of any size, you will need a track hoe/back hoe to gather it and something else to  move/apply. I've cleaned out several stock ponds and that stuff is very, very difficult to work with. Hard to describe how difficult that material is to work with. Secondly, yes it will completely muddy the pond in the process but they usually clear pretty quickly.

I'm talking about stock ponds now but if you mean to take it out of a small ornamental puddle (pond) then not as much work but still not enough material to make it worthwhile, IMO.  I use Tilapia to keep my ponds clean...and they do a terrific job while at the same time providing forage to grow big bass and bluegills and keeping filamentous algae under control. Works for me!
