I have found PB to be very accommodating to a great many viewpoints and ideas. But there are a great many professionals here, who do this stuff for a living. And while home grown results are welcome, verification via education and documentation might be required in order to effect productive dialogue and discussion.
Hey PondBoss
I genuinely appreciate what you and the other pond management professionals do here.
I am sure that you realize the cost and effort that goes into the life cycle study for one fish.
I have no grand delusions that my findings will turn the pond fish food world on its ear. The studies that I have done were for my benefit. However my findings are not limited to aquarium fish.
