Re: How many channel cats in 1/5 acre pond?

Centex, I see you, at one point above, called your pond a tank. I knew without looking that you were from Texas. But you knew not to ask. Never ask a man if he's from Texas. If he isn't, you'll embarrass him. If he is, he'll decide when you deserve to know.

The net is 1/4 mesh may have some issue with shiners but maybe not the fatheads. The LMB that are available in May are 2 to 3" and price is $1.80 per fish.

Target the LMB when they are spawning. The males are easy to catch when they are guarding the nest, and the females can be caught if they are hanging out around the nest getting ready to spawn. As for the BG, when they are nesting you can catch the males easily, and if you fish out about 2'-3' deeper than the BG nesting colony you can usually catch the female BG.
Easiest way to disrupt the spawning cycle is to catch and remove.

Steve:
Send me a PM with the pond address. I can map it from a satellite to verify the size. Go Daddy decided that they wouldn't support the web store format and couldn't transfer any of the data to their new system so I am looking into a new store format.
From where the compressor will be placed the first diffuser needs to be in the deepest part of the pond. That will give you an idea of the length of self sink tubing you will need. If the compressor will be at the edge of the pond, it needs to be inside a cabinet that has a fan to suck out the hot air - similar to a large desktop computer fan.
If the compressor will be in a building away from the pond, then you will need to trench in 1" black poly pipe to the edge of the pond and switch to self sinking tubing. If you need more than one diffuser, you will need a manifold box at the side of the pond or a manifold inside the cabinet that the compressor is in at the side of the pond.
