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.

Gizmo,
v nice pond program. You SHOULD be a proud new pond papa. How much of the surrounding property do you own? Reason I ask, do you have any intentions of further development of the surrounding terrain? Have you considered any of the government sponsered programs to improve wildlife habitat?
Congrats on the family addition!

Gizmo... go to this thread: Const costs thread, pg 3 and go down about 1/2 of the page to one of my windy posts about the WHIP program. All this stuff can be accessed thru your county NRCS div of USDA. There are a number of different ecology minded programs available that are government sponsered and supported. You owe it to yourself to explore them. Start your research here: Whip program
