Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Raising Forage and Bait Fathead fry pics

Pond filled up about a week ago..

I'll put up some pics of construction soon - but thought these pics were cool.

Had FH delivered from Anderson last Friday.

Although quite a few of them were DOA, the rest were happy.

Males were holding ground under rocks within a day - and 5 days later I've got fry all over the place.

Great pics !!! Tell us how you took them.

Hi Eric, Nikon D70 digital camera... 70mm lens.. autofocus doesn't work too well shooting at water - I either got the rocks or the top of the water in focus, so I had to switch to manual. I took about 150 pics and about 1/3 were 'in focus.' Finally figured it out and just got close to the water, zoomed in, and clicked away.

Thanks I will try that next time. I usually have about 10 bad pics for each decent one. I never tried manual settings just one of the pre set ones like auto , action or landscape etc.

Aaron, congrats on getting your pond finished, can't wait to see the construction pics. I have minnows arriving on the 29th from Andersons to our place in Missouri.
Are there any permits or regs regarding building a pond in Maricopa county? I'm just guessing they probably treat it like a pool as far as fencing requirements?I'd love to put a pond in when we build our new home.
