I scooped up a jar of water to see if the water would clear on its own but hasnt, so I need to check into the alum But... while viewing the water in the jar I have noticed 100's if not thousands of very small, say the size of a sharp pencil dot or mark on paper, They wiggle and move through the water surprisingly quick, can somebody give me a idea what they might be. I havent noticed them before but until all the cc recruits and res recruits this year and last I have run out of fhm and I am betting that the very small minnows will eat these critters. whatcha think?

Sounds like large zooplankton as in waterfleas. Defnitely a good food source for small fish and fry but even larger fish will eat them as in bluegills.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
