Well, it's been a busy day. We did lose a lot of fish. Tradeoff is a pretty pond. I can hardly wait two or three days before I feed them and try to fish. Right now, I can see hundreds of little bluegill and/or minnows. I see some larger bluegill. I see two or three 8 or 10 lb cats roaming the bottom. But oddly enough, not many middle-of-the-road fish! I hope they are lurking in the bottom of the deepest part and laying low.
I lost a beautiful gold and white goldfish. I saw goldfish last year and decided our great blue heron may have deposited some fish eggs that were trapped on his feet. OUr neighbor has a koi pond and I've seen the heron over there, too. But I did see one pretty goldfish swimming pretty strongly, so they aren't all gone.
I hope this helps others to know to watch that PH carefully!
