I would haul it to somewhere that it rains.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

For me, I'd make it bigger.
Then again, I didn't build my pond.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

I would have zero storm drains loading it with nutrients.

Put a glass dome over it so I could manage the whole environment.

One for each pond.
More time to do needed items.
A manager with better knowledge of how things work.
A good way to know what has happened (who fished and what they encountered i.e. more eyes on knowledge).

Move it 499.98 miles closer to my house. Someday I'm gonna move my house 499.98 miles closer to the pond, so I guess it'll all work out.

Switch the water/land ratio of the property. How much dirt do you need anyway?

Heck I could live with 29.5 acre lake and .5 of dirt. Or 30 acres of lake and live on a house boat! Well, maybe that's just getting greedy.

I would have to say a little bigger and deeper also. If I had to choose 1 I would say deeper.
The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
