Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Hyalella azteca

Update...

My scuds in the aquariums still seem to be happy and doing well. Spawning has pretty much stopped but still see a few. Females have disappeared under cover. I assume to hatch out the eggs and molt. Hope to see some little ones in the next couple of weeks. Pretty much from the beginning the water in both tanks has had a slight white cloudy look which I assume is a bacteria bloom from the decaying leaves. My understanding is that is a good thing as I've read scuds also eat bacteria and diatoms. I see them grazing on the sponge filters where I assume the bacteria is collecting in a heavier concentration.

Anybody else got an update? I suspect Canyoncreek has the best chance of success being further north.
