I stocked 1000 3” bluegill fingerlings 3 weeks ago in my new 1/2 acre pond and have noticed several floating up almost every day since. The pond was dug in october and the only thing ive done to it was stock fatheads about 2 months ago. Its 12 ft deep so there should be some cool water for them to get out of this heat. No aeration in place yet, and ive been feeding sportsman floating fish food every evening. Im located in Baton Rouge Louisiana. Id say around 50 to 75 have died since stocking. Should i be concerned or is this typical after stocking fingerlings?
