I've got YOY's that have been indoors all winter (actually they are now age-1's) that, in spite of being in a nice 50 degree hot tub and fed pellets every day are dying from the long winter. These are the fish that are the less agressive ones and are starting to starve. I don't want these fish anyway in my "program", but it's still interesting that I'm losing a fish or so every day. In a pond it would be much, much more harsh.


Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
