Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Sunfish-Including Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass Will My Fish Survive Winter?

Cecil, thanks! Your analogy to a piggy bank is just the kind of picture I needed to understand what's going on with the issue of oxygen depletion (withdrawal from the piggy bank). I never thought of the problem like that before.

I've got to find a diaphragm pump! I'm thinking that has to be easier and cheaper than pumping water up the slope from the old pond to fill the new one.
