Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Losing 10 BG a day???

On the subject of water quality, I would think the extremely muddy conditions could be a stressor to newly stocked fish. Do you know why the water is so muddy and are you doing anything to correct the problem? Have you performed the jar test? The jar test is simply taking a large jar full of the pond water and placing it in the dark for a few days to see if the "mud" will settle out.

You stated your FHM are doing fine. FHM are extremely hardy and can survive in very poor quality water.
