| I wont have to worry about other fish unless the birds bring them in because my ponds will not be filled with spring water, since I will be using well water I can control what is in my ponds.
My thing here is in the winter time we have a lot of rain. I dont know if I can dry out my ponds enough to kill the things that eat fry. Their is a chemical that I can use that will kill everything but I really dont want to use that.
In this area we have sunfish, bluegill and shellcrackes. I am not sure if any two of the names are the same brime, this is just what I have heard them called.
My contractor told me he could show me a way to drain the ponds without have to use a pump he says he does this all the time and does this by shiponing the water. I am trying to go the cheapest way with my pond for air as I dont want high electric bills. If I can make the shiponing work I am going to try this before I add any fish it see what happens. If it can be done to drain ponds you should be able to do this to put air in the water. Im not sure if enviroment would stop the flow of water once it is started or not I am just going to give it a try and see. I am hopeing I can go from my highest pond to my lowest and make this work and when the lowest pond fills it should overflow back into the other pond. I may just be wasteing my time I dont know but what the heck. I will try anything to reduce my electric bill. |
