Excellent job with the move.

You're one fellow that don't leave anything to chance! Now I realize i've been playing with my luck when I transport fish in those totes with nothing to support the plastic all around and with only one aerator. I bring extra batteries though. I think I better provide better support for my 54 gallon totes that holds pairs.

That pond depth may let you keep the PB alive in the winter months. One of the wholesalers that buy my PBs has a smaller pond that's no more than 10 feet deep and he keeps a PB in that pond to control the population of the other Cichlids. I've been seeing that PB for two summers now. They also have a Silver Aro in the pond that was two feet long last time I saw it.

He seems to be in the North Ft. Myers area, they are in the worst drought in 5 years. If you do not put a fountain in that pond all the fish will die, the water will go stagnant with the low water conditions.

Happens to all farm ponds during droughts.
