"In one of your threads way back when there was a description of the process of developing a zooplankton bloom in the pond. You start with a drained pond and add lawn fertilizer and chicken feed (crumbles, not scratch) as it is being filled. Depending on the temperature and local conditions, there will be plenty of little live things for the fry to eat in one to two weeks. In three to four weeks the plankton will not be much good any more and the predators will have moved in so you have to start the process all over. The obvious problem is that you need to be able to predict when the fish will spawn to make this work."
