CN, What is your estimate of "BIG $$$" for keeping the smallies stocked at the correct numbers? Are you getting springtime SMB from Aquatic Control? Have you verified availability for spring 2003 delivery? Make sure water temps of hauling and receiving water are the same.

If handled correctly, I estimate SMB survival in a NEW 3 ac pond with fatheads to be 90%-95%.
