The eggs are hard to seee unless you really look for them. An easier way

to
tell is the pond will be covered with white foam, and there will be a
decidedly different aroma downwind of the pond. Watch for ammonia, those
eggs are very high protein food. The ammonia in my system goes down
quickly, but the nitrites stay high for a week or two.

I noticed some foam here and there, but never a complete coverage, nor an
aroma. Of course, I currently have the stream running, and a smaller pump
agitating the water to help cut down on that "pollen haze" of still water.
So it's possible I knocked the foam out. As for the aroma, I live in breezy
area...sort of a small valley, so I guess it's possible the stink was wafted
away.

I definately have hundreds of fry in the pond right now. So far ammonia is
0.
