A couple of days ago I ran out to the pond (an hour drive) to check on it. The water keeps rising (yay!) nicely, the TH feeder works flawlessly (yay!), but ...
But I saw the feeder go off, 4 seconds at 1pm, and there was a grand total of one fish taking a pellet off the surface. One fish in ten minutes. (not so yay)
Now the water is murky, six inches clarity, as it is still filling. And it was stocked with mostly smaller CNBG and RES (along with FHM) just three weeks ago. And I'm sure some of the feed eventually sank and was consumed at some point. Even if it didn't get eaten, it serves to improve fertility in a low pH pond.
But the feeder has been running for three weeks. I expected something more. Maybe I need smaller feed for the mostly small CNBG?
Or is this pretty normal in new BOW and I'm overreacting?
Any ideas?
