Cecil got me to thinking about a new thread, that could possibly be turned into a very random book that just needs a catchy title to reach the USA today best sellers list.
Pond and Fish Mistakes that we have learned the hard way and then share with others our experiences. Dont be ashamed to post, if you arent messing up, you arent learning either.
We will use Cecil to get things started:
- keep male fish away from female fish if you want an all female pond.
- fish can swim under blocking nets unless they are staked down to the bottom of the pond
- make sure your fish cage is completely sealed up before launching and stocking fish
A few of Nates follies: Many of mine are BPB (Before Pond Boss) Many of mine are also APB (After Pond Boss)
-Dont stock small fish into an established pond- BPB
-Dont stock 10,000 bluegill into a 2 acre pond even if a fish farm says that is ok if you feed and aerate- BPB
-Put a lid on your fish cage- APB
I got more, but got to run.
