Dave,
Due to an unwelcome visitor to my pond, I may not get to have a problem with having too many fish in not enough water.
I put in 200 CC and 4lbs of FH the other night and thought that I would see a few floaters in the morning. I didn't see any in the morning before I left for work. When I got home I got my first cup of fish food and was walking towards the water when I saw something that looked like a small pterodactyl take off from the shore. In the mud there were bird tracks measuring 6" from middle toe to spur and I think its wingspan was at least 5’. I assume this monster was a Heron. I did get fish to take the food after a while but I bet the bird made lunch of a few of them.
I’ve read stories about these things cleaning out hatchery ponds and wonder if there is any way to keep them off my fish. Scarecrows?
