The chances are pretty good of them living assuming: Have you had your alkilinty checked yet? Fertility and clarity? I assume that the fertilizer and cotton seed meal were to jump start fertility. That's easier done in warm weather. I'm a lot less concerned about cold weather than I am water quality.

I wouldn't be too impressed with an offer of free delivery. They usually come in bags that you can do for yourself. Actually, the correct number of fish for a 3/4 acre new water hole, only partially filled, isn't really that expensive. Go for it and see what happens. BTW, just how many fish are you buying to get the free delivery?

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
