Why is this? That the fish will live in a water trough and not a man made
pond?
Lori GOOD QUESTION!
I would say it works like your septic tank system. If you did nothing to
your stock tank but add water once in awhile [especially city chlorinated
water, kills all the good,and bad, bacteria] it would become a sludge mess.
So, you do need to do some maintenance on it. Same as you do with your
septic tank. We have ours pumped every 3 years. If we had a house full,
then it would be more often.
The fish are really a good indicator of the health of your tank. Dead fish,
bad water. Pretty soon,,, dead horses.
Our solders, [many years ago] used to carry canary's, to detect poison gas,
dead canary, better get the gas mask on pronto! dah !
