Cecil:
Sorry to hear that. Those colors are amazing! Now what are you going to do with the pond??
I'd like to drain it for the winter but I still have the bluegills in a cage in it. And I can't move them to the RAS as it's not cycled yet. I'm afraid to put them in the big pond as some are borderline for staying in the mesh. I want no escapees and subsequent reproduction of bluegills in the big pond and worked hard to keep it that way.
I may use it as a spawning pond for bluegills, pumpkinseeds, or even in a couple of years possibly smallmouth bass. Do you have any suggestions Scot?
