DO 4.32 PH 8.24 sample taken at 7:30AM, I went ahead and put the 2 catfish back in last night not knowing what the DO was, they were on the bank this morning almost dead, I caught one with a dip net and put him back in the water trough, the other one slowly swam off. It has been hot and no wind to turn my windmill, I have a water hose running into the pond now. I used the trash pump to pull water from the pond and pump it back into it hoping to bring the DO back up, but it is not staying up. I think that I have had alot of minnow hatchings, can this be part of the problem with the DO. I have never had this problem in the past, I stocked minnows into the pond about a month ago. Still no other fish have died, no minnows, no bluegill, sunfish, just the catfish, how can other fish live in water that the DO is low in.
