Thanks for your response. I missed the fish truck on Sat. But plan on picking up 5 lb of fhm and 100 res on Wed. Folks in Perry Mo. have yp (probably 8 or more hours away). Gentleman north of KC said yp couldn't, be transported until fall and I'd need 20' deep pond for them to survive. Plants are next along with small aeration system. Would 2 55 gal barrels with lids work for an 8 -9 hr. drive ? Really want to share pictures of pond but read that downloading is difficult. I am technically disabled.
