John, welcome to PB. Pine tree country can be a little challenging re water quality. Your alkalinity may be a little low and you might have to fertilize. However, to get the fertilizer to "work", you might need to lime first. I would do a soil test and send the results to TAMU.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
