Well it looks like we are going to finally be able to begin redigging our pond to go from 800 gallons to approximately 4,000 this week if the weather holds. We have a large and long cooler that I was planning to place our eight fish in with a pump while we are constructing the pond. My question is if I should be concerned about the length of time the fish are kept there while this is going on as I don't know if they will become stressed? I don't think it should take more than two or three days if the weather holds, but may take up to five or six if we have to stop and start again. I would hate to have had them survive the Egret and to end up loosing them to stress from being held in a cooler for too long.
