I don't think aeration is needed 24/7 for a pond that small/shallow.. Your in my opinion heating the pond instead of cooling it only multiplying your problems. Anyone else agree with me on that?

If it kills off every couple years you'd still have big fish dying.. Just think now your smaller fish aint competing with the big boys since their dead..

I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease..
