With summertime temperatures climbing I would like to report that I still haven't had any of my Po'Boy RAS YP die yet. The water temperature in the tank finally got to 71 degrees with only 1/8 gpm. I rarely bother to clean the tank so there's tons of algae in it, but the YP continue to feed vigorously and grow. Their growth rates are considerably less than the perch that were released in the pond, but I still have good looking fish.
The predicted highs for eastern Nebraska for the next 7 days average 100 degrees, and almost as bad the predicted lows are 74 degrees. OUCH! This is the real test of the YP/BG pond.
