Sue, Some kids died here about 10 years ago from the same thing. They were swimming in a slough when we had super low lake levels. I seem to recall that the amoeba is mostly present in stagnant water.

I guess my ponds, at times, could certainly be considered stagnant.

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.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
