ML, Ewest ect..
ML. I will be refilling soon and can't wait to see your setup... I spent some time looking more closely at your site and it looks like heaven..
I'm starting to see some FA and will be stocking Tipalia soon or first thing next spring..
Will be introducing some 1-2 lbs bass later this summer along with some RES and some adult CNBG...
ML...
My young BG do seem to be growing fast but still have no idea what the 3.5 year lay off from mangement has done to the genetic pool..
Hopefully with your great genteics and some other CNBG I hope to purchase I will be well on my way to a pond balanced the way I want it..
I've only seen 2 large BG and one is fin clipped and see him when I feed..
The birds have also found the pond a great place and are helping with the BG explosion that occured over the last 2-3 years..
Grass carp will go in this fall but I want to leave some of the Chara beds because they seem to hold thousands of crawfish, and billions of snails, Mussels and a few leeches.
RES Heaven..??? I hope so, they have never been in the pond and are needed badly..
I'll just have to figure out how many GC I need to get it where I want it.. Or remove them when it looks like they are getting it under control??? I have a friend who is an expert bow fisherman and might come in handy when ever that day comes..
I'm thingking maybe 25% chara and the rest bare bottom..
Any comments or advice would be appreciated.
A few more pics.. To bore you with..Mussels- Spawning beds- dying weeds and fish..
