Eric, funny how adding clean fresh water cleared things up and made the fish happy. Alum isn't a have-to any more.

I hope those are FHM's.

I'm guilty of under managing my weeds, but the FHM's and CNBG fry were visible by the thousands yesterday after the water rise. I left Johnson and Dallis grass around the edges, and they immediately started migrating to those areas. I know it will die, but I was surprised at the numbers.

I will add something else. I have been feeding Cargill in the comparable Aquamax 400 size. CNBG have aggressively been eating, and I've increased the throw times. When I threw out a handfull of 500 AM, the feeding really slowed to a trickle. Since these CNBG will be added to the big puddle as quickly as possible, being observant in letting the fish tell you what they want, paid off. Will go to a 400/500 mix later this summer. Then everybody should get fed.

The learning is as much fun as the result.
