Speaking of white tubs to hold fish Bobby, I learned something a few days ago about the color of fish containers.
Been using a yellow 5 gallon bucket to temporarily hold BG to transfer to the old pond about an eighth mile away. They sometimes stay in there for 30 minutes or so with a small portable aerator. Noticed fish would spook when they saw me above or saw movement. Yellow bucket let in a lot of light.
Happened to grab a black bucket one day and used it. Noticed no fish spooking when working around the bucket. Started paying more attention to the situation.
My take is, a darker container that lets less light in causes the fish to feel more secure that they are hid and/or does not allow them to see as much movement around the container.
At any rate have been using the black bucket and I see much less fish jumping and generally being active in the container.
Just an observation, and I could be imagining it. But I don't think so.
