Think twice about the fertilizer. If your pond is already fertile you just might get a fish kill. Sanger is oak country and that generally means that our ponds are naturally fertile.

My experience with fertilizer was a tragedy. I fertilized about 12 to 15 years ago. I had a fish explosion. The pond had wall to wall big fish and loads of forage. Neighbors came by and everyone was amazed. So, they also fertilized.

Then, we had a couple of no wind and no sun days. My larger fish died due to an oxygen crash. So did the neighbors. I wasn't exactly popular and had to go back to buying my own beer.

Approach any and all chemicals with extreme caution.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
