Ok, one more problem. I have cat tails all around my pond. right now they're brown and dead looking. I got my coppernose from a fish supplier, but got the recommended number from the fish and wildlife guy. thats why i got 1000. the guy that actually put the fish in my pond told my mom to get roundup and gave her the name of some chemical, i guess the active one that kills it. i think its the one that i have seen on here. I have it wrote down but its in my truck. ok so my prob is, i need to kill the cattails before fertilizing my pond right? this is just gonna make my overstock problem worse, now i'm gonna have to wait for the cattails to die i guess before i can fertilize, holding up my bream growth even more, i guess basically im just gonna have to wait till next year to stock my bass. that makes me sick. if i had the money i'd just hire somebody to come do whatever lol, but im in debt up to my eyeballs right now. i hate to ask all of these questions but i dont have much time to search the forum, i work all time. Thanks guys.
