Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Help question

Bob:

Howdy and welcome to the Forum!

(You wouldn't happen to have a brother named Bull, would you?)

1) In part, it depends on what you want to feed. Catfish might well get some value from fish offal; turtles sure would. BG and LMB, I doubt would be interested.

I puzzled that question myself for a year or two, and decided if buildup of organics was a common problem with ponds, I'd remove the whole fish and count it as a small gain against that problem.

2) My bet would be that the rubbed spots on Cats present earlier and gone now were from spawning. They get lots of scrapes getting into and out of spawning cavities. We have also discussed whether they get "love bites" as well.

3) CNBG are a separate, true breeding subspecies of BG and can't convert to other types. If the only BG you have in a pond are CNBG, that's all they are ever gonna be.
