Good point........ too many fish has been some cause for my concern as we've had a dry period and my springs have stopped flowing..I need 4 feet of water.....alot of volume to fill the pond........too much biomass during hot weather could result in a fish kill......doubt my fat heads will survive until fall. Bass are the right size to finish them off while hopefully my bream get in a few spawns this summer. My pond is 25 feet deep in some places and has numerous springs so being 2 hours from the gulf cost I think my threadfins will survive.
