Hello everyone planning to stock my forage/satellite pond
With fathead and golden shiners Thursday
Is there a way to prevent or minimize the chance at parasites? Medicating feed or something else.
Reading numerous articles now I’m concerned that building a forage pond was the right decision
How big of a concern/ percentage of threat of parasites having negative affects on my large pond when transferring forage.
Thanks for any information
