I have a small 40x100 ft 10 ft deep pond. It was built in the late fifties. I have owned this land for about 3 months. when I bought It the pond was full of small bluegill millions of them. I put some bass and some catfish in them. it is also full of tadpoles, I have a couple of questions. 1 : will the bass and catfish eat the tadpoles? and the other question is : I had a friend call and he had a good day at the paylake and brought me 25 arkansas bluecats ranging from 1 to 5 pounds. when he left the lake he put the fish in a cooler with about a half bag of ice. they were alive when they got here but in the last 5 days i have lost 5 in the pond. could the ice have done that? I was worried that something might have happened to my pond or something.
Thanks koda
