Well good morning and I'm happy to finally make my first post. I have been on the site many times before, and now I have a question about areation. I have a two year old pond and I just stocked my bass about a week ago. I have a very large population of bluegill and some other small fisk that looks like a guppy (that we all grew up with). They have a black spot on their lower part of their back belly. Anyone know what they are?

Ok for my question, I want to put in areation, when should I do it? Should I wait until next year, or start this year? Pond is about 1.3 acres and deepest spot is 12 feet.
