Not sure what you mean AP? I'm going to try and get breeding size fish of the largest size possible and approximately the same size.

The plan is to put spawning size male and female pumpkinseeds in the two outdoor tanks until I get negative VHS testing back from Purdue which will take 2 weeks. Then if I get a negative I will plant all the male and females I have into the ponds to spawn.

I'm kind of irked I have to do the quarantine thing as I know the tanks will stress wild fish. I wish I could just dump them into the pond and be done with it.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
