Hi! Newbie here! Can I ask a question? I went into a bait store to buy fatheads for a new pond...they laughed at me!!!!! Why does every country man tell me my minnows won't "make it"? I ended up buying ruby reds, because the fatheads I bought through the mail died on my porch...and put them in last week since the water is not hot from summer yet. Is there a secret I do not know? I am just trying to establish a food source for future fish and healthy ecosystem boost. And your ponds are all large and beautiful compared to my pond!
