What does your pond look like ... Today?

[j.w]

@saugeye tom My pond is about 2400 gals and the fry hardly ever make it. The eggs are eaten fast by the fish just as soon as they are laid. Maybe a few will survive to fish. That's in my pond but if you have lots of hiding spots for eggs and fry more could survive. It's just a wait and see thing.

@saugeye tom I started out w/12 feeder goldfish and bought 6 shubunkins and got maybe 6 free oj/white ones and now have maybe a hundred fish from spawning over 16 yrs so not too many in there yet. Most aren't that big either. Some 6 to 8" ones but most under that.

How many gallons for the 100 fish?..water stays clear?

About 2400 gals and like I said most fish are not very big.................yet! I keep water clean w/a filter and I do water slowly in and slowly out treatments now and then. All is good for over 16 yrs.

The ducks have been here. Their tracks led from the pond to my bog, and ultimately, across my driveway and over to the neighbors ditch.
