Windmills are great when the wind is blowing. However, oxygen crashes occur after several days of cloudy, windless days. They seem to be getting better but I PERSONALLY think the jury is still out on them. Maybe others can give a comment on them.

Herons and other birds don't stock fish but that or ducks is probably where the DW and WM came from.

You can cut the small trees on the dam but those 4 inches or more in diameter can be a problem. If they die, their roots rot which can cause voids in the dam soil.

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.
