Great information! Thanks!
I went out and checked my water temperature. It's 65 F, today. I'm pretty sure I have eggs laid under the sunken pallets. Now, I also understand why I'm seeing so many 1/4 to half inch FHM coming to eat the floating catfish food.
I just didn't think the FHM would start spawning, during the warm periods, between cold fronts. Now, I know it's all about water temperature. The CC should be happy, when the temps get up enough for them to want to start feeding more.
Out in the pasture, I'm seeing lots of masses of frog eggs in low spots that are still holding water. Would the tadpoles provide extra forage for the CC pond if I scooped up the egg masses and put them in there? Will the CC eat the frog eggs or will they wait and eat the tadpoles?
