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.

It's in my east Texas pond.

Now I am trying to figure out what kind it is.

Thanks everyone. Mark, I think you nailed it. Given the bumper supply of turtles I have in the pond again this year I can understand its origin.
