Fish have arrived!

I was lucky enough to be able to see the delivery this year, and the delivery man had a lot of interesting information. I did not know that trout eat crawdads - yay!! - and that once the fish is filleted, if you see reddish tones, that means that fish has been feasting on them. He also took the temperature and oxygenation levels of the pond - 54 degrees and 120% oxygenation, which he proclaimed perfect for the fish. Mike has had an engineer friend over to look at the leakage in the pond. It is very low, and there are leakages on both sides of the spillway. Additionally, the concrete blocks in front of the spillway are separated and movable. Assessments will continue. I've gone through a 25-pound bag of fish food and picked up another 50-pound bag today. However, now that I know there is food in the form of crawdads available, I won't be so paranoid about missing a day.
