Don't be in a hurry to get the pond full. Make sure all the stragglers are dead first!
True but at the same time 350 1.5 lb. yellow perch and 75 approximately 1 lb. bluegills, and 31 1 to 2 lb. smallmouths in a 1/10th acre pond will cause ammonia to creep up as temperatures rise. So far no ammonia is showing up in tests thought. The cool weather is helping me out.
I will be thorough as there is no way I'm doing this again and I would be so bummed if I didn't get them all. You can be sure I will be sorting like I'm OCD when I put fish back!
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
