You read my mind!

One of my experiments this year was to try over-wintering some fish to determine how much I would have to upgrade equipment to be successful.

Gams kept in an unaerated little beta fish tank and fed fish flakes - SURVIVED!

Gams kept in a 40-gallon aerated tank with two pellet-fed yellow bullheads - DECEASED! (And mysteriously disappeared.)

I still plan to try and build a few new ponds at my place when we can get ahead on the family budget. I think I will try a gams experiment instead of FHM as the starting forage on one of the ponds.

Unfortunately, based on the rains of the last three years at my place, then a dune buggy race track may be the only feasible recreational project. mad
