Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking BG Stocked (pic)

I really hope those were not the BG that you stocked into your pond. When restocking fish it is a big no no to let the fish touch the ground before returning it to the water. Lying on the ground removes lots of the slime layer and the fish is very likely to get a fungal growth/infection which will likely lead to death. Dead fish often do not float.

P.S. It also looks like at least one of the fish on the ground is a hybrid bluegill (HBG).
