If I did this right, hopefully the pictures will show. Someone wanted to see pictures of the baby bream. It is a little more than an inch long.

I was told to put hydrated lime in initially and was sold some at the hatchery. However, after reading the various DNR sites and the forum here, I got cold feet about using it and went with ag lime. I gotta bag of hydrated lime here cheap if anyone interested. Sorry I don't have any big hogs, but I have a heap of nut stealers, you are all welcome to come help yourselves.

At least my post has helped people be aware of alternative views. I wish I had gotten more alternatives views before we started the pond. I wasn't aware of Pond Boss then.

O.K so maybe we have to much ammonia or bloom. Would hay or additional lime help, or make it worse? Should we try to remove some of the fish? If so the spawn or the the bigger fish? Is their a chemical that can be added? Should we reduce or quit feeding? Should we get all the fish out and start over? Should we just let nature run it's course?

Mr. Holyoak, thank you for the apology, I felt you were more interested in selling an aerator at the time, than anything else. That's why I went to these guy's to get their opinions. I've seen the vast knowledge and help they have given many others on this forum. Even when sometimes they have differing opinions, it is always good information and only given because they care.
Thank you all again for the help.
