Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations OMG! To much fertilizer: incredibly green!

To measure the feed, just figure how many days it takes to go thru a bag or 2 bags if you're feeding both 500 and 600.

The GC could be eating plants that are growing on the botton that you can't see.

I can show you how to measure your ponds.
Open and let your fingers do the measuring.

LMB need forage that is 1/4 to 1/3 their body size for optimum growth. If your LMB seem to have large heads and smaller bodies, then they might be missing the right sized BG. Go here and print out the chart for LMB. Next time they are fished for, weigh and measure them. Compare them to the chart. If they weigh less than the chart, then they aren't getting enough to eat.

If you want to stop the GC from eating pellets, buy some Stubbie Steves and C&R the GC. That should stop them for this year. They are smart and learn quickly.

Maybe there are no BG in the CC stomachs because they aren't eating when they're full, only when hungry.

What kind of feeders? Are they directional or scatter? When I had 500 in my AquaPro feeder, 1 second = 3# of food.

The fertililzer gave you your green water at the start, but I'll bet the feeders are contributing greatly to the green water now. Did you have the feeders when you had the clear water?
