Thanks Delbert. I did set up 4 1000gal stock tanks with filters a couple of weeks ago. added som feeder gold fish to get the bio filters going. Is there any bacterial additive I should toss in to help the filter cycle?
16 days after well pump was installed my two grow out ponds are full.
Good deal.
Your pack looks pleased.

Yep! The goldens are water dogs for sure.
Considering all the time you have 'til the water gets good and warm, I agree with Delbert that you probably don't need bio-zyme or the like. But you might put a couple of your 10"-14"mutts in each tub to give the tubs/filters some biological mass to get started with. They might not even notice the feeder goldfish. Your ponds look good all full.
Thanks Matt. Good advise on the mutts but I am not at home to do that for the next three weeks. Catching the Mutts is another problem and would need to salt bath them if I did. These tanks are for holding my breeders until I can get something else prepaired. Probably only put two fish in each tank. Do you think two large koi will overload the filter before it has time to cycle up?
Would adding water from the Mutt pond Help?
Well? Got fish?
Eager to see.

Have been back to Purdin's to pick out the rest of my start up brood stock. Water at home was still to cold to bring them back with me yet but will return in May to transport. Here are some new photos.

Great-looking fish, Mike.
Weather's getting good and fishy, now.
The good times are about to begin.

Thanks Matt and Max. I see your temp is over 50f Max, congrats! Been a frustrating wait for you too!
Thanks Delbert! NE Arkansas is not to far away, one of these days you need to drop by for a visit.
My broodstock is finally home. They are currently resting in the holding tanks to recover from the stress of transport but looking healthy and in good shape. here is a video of unpacking the female Kohaku.
