Thanks for the responses all. See if I can answer everything:
* Yes, same supplier in both cases (I'd need to look it up - a fish farm up in KY is all I know off-hand)
* Dead are off all sizes
* No, I haven't fertilized the grass around the pond or anything
I did not measure the temp between the pond and the transport water, nor really temper them (only for a few minutes) this time as the supplier suggested based on temps it was best to just dump them in. For the first few days things looked good - they were moving about the pond and organized into schools. I did temper them for about 5 mins the first time around (as well as mix some pond water into their bag).
I'll see if any survive and if they succeed in spawning. If not, I'll try ordering some from Anderson fish farms and see if we get better results.
