In late summer alge becomes a big problem but its not bad now. Im trying to get ahold of some talapia to stock to help control plants and alge. The pond is stocked with bass and bluegill. It has the signs of bass over crowding, small bass and large bluegill. Im goin to try to take out at least 100 small bass this year and im hoping that with the introduction of the talapia will help ballence things out. Im located in north east central kansas. Oh and no i havent seen any dead fish.

Several reasons im interested in aeration. Increasing the habitable space for fish in the pond and clearing some of the sludge off the bottom. My hope is to stop the filling in process untill i can afford to redo the entire pond which will be a long time from now.
