I am not worried about the electric bill.
I like your reasoning, I do the same...if my fish/pond needs water, I give it to them. I also money whipped my initial spring stocking with 3-6 inch Coppernose/Red Ear sunfish last year for spawning purposes. Using a jig with stubby steves, I sampled 1 really nice BG with a copper band about 1/4 - 1/2 inch band across his forehead, beautiful fish.
