Before we drained and re-worked the pond, I never ever would catch a smaller catfish so if they were breeding, I don't think the young were surviving long enough to reach adulthood.

They get eaten. If they didn’t, an O2 crash would occur. Last edited by Dave Davidson1; 01/31/23 07:00 AM. 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. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
