2. The minnows are so happy they are breading and there are zillions of
little ones all over the pond but many head in towards the bubbler. I
suspect this is just standard behavior of swimming up stream but I suppose
it could indicate low oxygen elsewhere but none of the adults, cats or
goldfish are there.

Any thoughts?

My pond is 15 years old, natural bottom, 40 ft diameter, 6 ft max depth.
==================
Have you run some tests to see what the PH and water temperature is? It
sounds like it may be a combination of a lack of oxygen due to very warm
water, and perhaps the wrong PH for the fish you're trying to keep. You may
want to add another bubbler or two.
