The if and when it rains is the interesting part. I'm 4.5 ft low and the structure is now high and dry.

Drag a small one out and see what happens. I expect that it will float. Then start experimenting with cinder blocks or other weights.

40 of them lumped together seems like overkill but I don't know what size you're talking about.

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.
