I sure seems like there is more talk about "floaters" this time of the year. I wonder if coming out of winter has something to do with it and/or the fact that we spend more time at the water to notice the floaters compared to the colder seasons. I have seen some larger dead crawdads at my pond, no fish luckily, but just dismissed them as casualties of nature.

I recall having a floating layer of pollen-like stuff last year that seemed to come and go without incident so hopefully yours will do the same.

The one thing I can talk about with experience is that when I had aquariums, any change in the system...adding new fish, water chemistry (poor maintenance), temp changes (heater failure), etc, could easily result in floaters. Let's face it, our ponds are constantly changing. A few dead fish every now and again is the way of it.

Keep an eye one the pond, as we know you do, and you'll know if it's an epidemic in short order.

Fish on!,
