Thank you for the links. I read them but still don't know what is causing the stress. Another thing, I haven't seen any BG fry this year. Plenty of bass though. Could it be they are needing more food than they are getting? I do not feed them and with the lack of small BG I wonder if there are too many fish for the food supply. Typically there are 20-25, 5-8 inch BG gathered near the bank in several areas around the pond.

Any recommendations what kind of food to feed them that may help this condition?
