I saw some tilapia (at least I think that is what they were} near a cement block in the shallows when mowing this morning. Looked to be chaising each other and picking at the rock. I walked the bank this morning and didn't see any dead floating...
I found different methods for acclimation online. I floated for 15 mins in the shade, then added water to the bags every 15 mins. At the 45 minute mark some seemed to be gasping at the surface (the bass as an example). So...I started releasing shortly afterward by opening the bags one at a time to the pond and letting them swim out..or scouping out with a big mixing bowl so I could look at them and then releasing.
One of the bass hung on the bottom near the dock for a long time before it moved on.
Lots of boatmen in the pond right now, so don't know if they will take pellets or not (I would think they would rather eat bugs than pellets). I will try this evening and see.
