Ever tried to simulate a stream environment in part of your pond to see if the stream minnows reproduce? I ask because I know of a pond nearby that recieves drainage from a large and has an almost constant flow in the spring. This spring, I witnessed several minnows going through the spawning motions where the drainage entered into the pond (extremely sandy bottom). I have been toyin with this idea or a while but I don't know what type of velocity is needed for minnow species to spawn. I saw a solar powered pump on Ebay that would make a cool set up, but the highest water velocity I could see getting is around .2 mph. I assume that is too low. This question is for anyone, I just like bouncing potential waste-of-time ideas off people.
