Wondering why my catfish died, none of my bluegill/sunfish died, had a handful of minnows that died, you can walk around the pond and see small minnows swimming everywhere, the catfish weighed 4 to 10 pounds about 40 or so died, i pulled 2 of them out of the pond that were still alive and put them in a large metal water trough, that is feed fresh water by my windmill, that then flows over into the pond, pond is 1/4 acre in size, the catfish I put in the water trough are fine now. I checked the dissolved oxygen in the pond 12 hours after the fish started dying and it was 6.4, and 10.0 in water trough, I had feed the fish the night before, which I do every late afternoon for the past 7 years. Pond depth is around 5 to 6 feet. I fed last night and the bluegill/sunfish ate along with one catfish that was still alive in the pond. It was a sad sight to see all of my catfish dead.
