pH right from the tap is 6.0.

As for the ammonia....my test strips didn't read this so I went out and bought another kit.
I got a reading of 5ppm.

So The pond was not crazy over stocked, but if they were spawning and gravid they must be a decent size so 12 for 2000 gallons is kinda crowded.
The thing I did notice is that the water change was two weeks ago but the fish spawned a week ago- the ammonia must have been off the charts from that?
The pH is also on the low side. What is the pH right from the tap? JR
