I agree, my eyes suck, and I felt it was a greenie...If both Bullheads and GSF are in the pond, are they subject to being flooded out? If not flooded, the ponds were probably bucket stocked from a local creek.

Arktiger, don't feel to heartbroken if needing to kill and restart, if the ponds are smaller (under an acre), they will be fairly easy and inexpensive to start over on.....

I drained and nuked a half acre pond this past summer in a single day. next day was spent netting out dead fish. The client had a nearby creek and by the next morning, we'd re-stocked it. It IS smelly and muddy work, but not overly difficult.
