Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Checklist for the new pond

Boondoggle:

Check your water chemistry now and see if you can check a local pond water chemistry to see how close they are to each other. You might be surprised. Adding all the forage fish at once is no big deal, you have less of a bio load on the pond than on an aquarium. Don't add any crays until you get underwater plants established. The plants are part of the pond filter, and part of the forage base. While the fish won't eat the plants per se, they will help create habitat for small organisms that will feed the young fish.
