I have a small pond (1/5 acre, 10 ft deep at full pool). It is about 2 ft low right now. It is not aerated. I put 43 CCs in it in April of this year, and the month prior to that I put in 2 lbs of FHMs. The FMHs have spawned several times, I have tons of tiny to 1" long FHMs. I feed the CCs and minnows every day. I now observe very few adult or sub-adult FHMs.
My question, with the spawns I am getting do I need to add some FHMs? I am sure the CCs are feeding more and more on the minnows, as evidenced by the lack of larger FHM. I am getting concerned about O2, but so far everything seems to be ok. I intend to put some HSBs in there in the spring, but just 10 or so.
Thoughts?
Thanks
BB
