PF, I have always considered phyto, sun, and wind as a more consistent producer of oxygen than the actually growing plants. Am I mistaken?

BTW, Todd is right about the challenges here. A one acre pond in April can become a 3/8 acre pond by September. My 1/4 acre forage pond can easily be 1/10 acre before I can take action. My fish kills are legendary.

One year we try for a plankton bloom and the next year we have all kinds of noxious weeds to spray. It's nice and sunny around here.

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.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
