Cecil, I don't recall seeing a basement in Texas for years. My Grandparents had a storm cellar but it's just not done here. Not sure why.

OK, we have a lot of clay soil in my area that tends to move a lot depending on rainfall amounts or lack thereof.


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.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
