But back to fish stuff. Do you think that my fish expend any more of
their own energy when in a pond with the pump running than when the
water is quiet? I've noticed that in the winter they congregate in one
end of the pond that has the least circulation.
================================
The have to expend energy to stay upright then the water is moving. Why not
just keep a nice size hole open in the ice and allow them to "rest" as they
would in nature?
