I am woundering if the LMB will swim through and go to other ponds?I thought it was just run off from the streets and the homes that live on this pond.The BG seem to still be there they are all over the place.Thanx for any help, i plan to put vinyl lattice infront of these pipes to fix this if its a problem.

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.
