I also was informed by my wife that all the "trash" I was putting in the bottom of the pond was ugly. I told here when it filled with water she would not be able to see any of it and it would not be ugly.

Because of other spring projects I have taken on I have nothing other than some crushed rock piles placed in my new RES pond. I had hoped to get at least one structure to provide shade for the RES and perhaps be a congregating point where I could catch them more easily.

I think it was Shorty that pointed out to me I might now want much cover if I was going to try RES only so more of the fry would be subject to early predation by the larger RES to help prevent over population. I thought that sounded like it might be a good idea. I think Nedoc uses SMB for his top predator for his RES pond which I also would not be opposed to. If I could find the SMB.
