Yeah, they can handle it for a week. However, with prolonged mud, no photosynthesis occurs. Mine was muddy this year for months due to exposed banks. Recent rains brought in a lot of fresh water and raised it above the level of the exposed dirt. My visibility went from 4 inches to 10 in a week. I'll find out soon just what kind of shape I'm in.

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.
