Rainman, yes. Met them at a farmers co-op, and they bagged the fish. I did follow their recommendations for acclimating them though. I was prepared for the initial wave of dead fish. It is the on-going wave of dying each day. But at least now I'm looking at it differently--as a positive in the long run.
Thanks Bill D for the pellet recommendation. I'll make plans to try some of that brand.
My thanks again to everyone for their insight and encouragement. This is certainly a learning experience and I have some ideas on which direction I work toward with the pond.
