I got my pond up to mid 60s with aeration. Cut it off last night. The pond cleared and fish (LMB, CNBG, catfish, and newly stocked golden shiners, and, if ever, some redears) are staging for you know what. For the most part they refuse to feed on pellets. On an LED "green light" last night, shiners (3 to 4.5 inches already!) were taking out a ball of fry, still carrying yolk sacks. Meanwhile, this afternoon, it looks like groupings of each of CNBG sexes, twins of each of bass sexes, cruising the pond, even in sunlight, and the shiners are going crazy in lily pads. We run late because we're on the north side of a tall steep hill.
