Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding SAD Bluegill

Lighting:

SE corner bedroom with windows on the East and South walls. They have light colored drapes which are usually closed. I would guess that he gets a couple of hours of artificial light in the evenings after dark, averaging out the amount of time I have to put up with "Big & Rich" coming out of the room.

Condition:

Pretty sharp CB, he does have 1-2 scales messed up right behind the opercule. No apparent infections; those pink spots are chuncks of stuff he stirred up off the bottom. Yes, the aquarium could use a good cleaning; I limit my hygene activities to changing about 20 fl.oz. of water a day. (If my daughter wants to become an aquaculturist, she has to kill those first million fish, right?)

Sex:

Bruce, you agree with my guess that's he's probably male?
