Loretta I guess the dock idea would be possible but such a fine mesh would probably be covered in algae quickly.

I did grind up food a few times but it seemed that most of it just fell to the bottom and went to waste. I have been putting about 30-40 Game fish chow pellets in the tank per day and the fry are doing a better job than I first thought making a living from it. I probably have a hundred or more juvenile minnows in the tank that push and peck the pellets around the tank. This is from 12 original stockers.

I also set up two 250 gal totes alongside the round tank and put about 20 fry in each one. These fish grew quickly even though I never see them eating pellets (they may have enough natural food).

They haven't been laying any new eggs so I got 12 more adults from the bait shop last weekend. If they are done spawning for the summer these last 12 may have been pointless. I need to check and see what the spawning habits are for them but not anymore tonight it's bedtime.

Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?
