I took all mine back out.. I wanted a bluegill pond so the added structure just made it easier for the baby bluegills to survive. I have them now all in one place under my dock (12 total)

Rough them up and algae will grow better and quicker.

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.

Those cribs look great. The fish have to love them too. Do you think color helps or hurts in clear water? That pipe is pretty bright, do you think it could attract as well?

I think the color helps attract everything.. But the color would have been totally covered in a year by green algea so it didn't really matter.. IMHO
