I don't really care for the idea of herbicides. If I kill the vegetation, I still need to get it out of the pond. So my plan is to rake, rake, and more rake. Once I have gotten it under control, then let the grass carp manage it. It was never my plan for the GC to do all of the work. I go through the this every year, however this is the first fish kill.

The company I plan to get the GC from is in Mississippi (Slades). They say the sell CG year round and as long as I acclimate to my water properly, I won't loose them. It's just as hot there as it is here in Louisiana.

I was told here on pond boss, it's too hot to stock them. Is the fear of loosing them in transport or pond introduction?
