First time poster, I appreciate all of the knowledge that is shared on this forum. I have learned a ton in a very short time. I have a 1/2 acre pond that has an average depth of 8 ft just south of Kansas City. Wednesday night when I went out to "scout" around the pond I discovered multiple floating channel cats. I'm certain this is from inadequate DO, what puzzels me is how this happened. I fed the fish Tuesday evening and had "good" activity. Tuesday's high was 100+ degrees and Wednesday morning the temp was 54 degrees......did this have something to do with my DO drop? Normally there is constant flowing water to my pond, this has dried up in the last week from lack of rain. For two weeks prior or so it was "flowing" at a rate of 1 gallon/hour or less. Is that more of the culprit? Or is there something else that I'm missing? Any insight would be great. Thanks.
