Had some equipment so I decided we needed a pond. Wife was iffy on it but now it has really paidon't off. Thanks to all the typed words of wisdom from this forum. My dad and my brother in law have put a lot of work in it glad to have great help. Thanks for looking Attachments Last edited by Mobley HVAC; 09/21/15 07:30 PM. Reason: Add pictures

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

I tell the difference by the shape of the anal fin (the long fin along the bottom near the tail). The blue has a straight fin, the channel has a more curved or rounded one. A lot of time the channel will also have several small black spots scattered along the flank, but not always. In my experience, the spots tend to disappear on larger fish, especially the males. Again, Welcome to PBF! Bill D. Last edited by Bill D.; 09/21/15 10:13 PM. Be Brave Enough to Suck at Something New!

The fish could also be a hybrid cross between a blue and a channel.

The post on the back are about 6 ft in the ground the tall post are 9 ft in the ground. It has a 3/8 cable holding the end of the dock to the rear. Although it didn't need it. Just a looks thing.

It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
