i netted a 4" bluegill from my pond just now. it's in a bucket with pond water and an airstone inside my greenhouse. the water temp is 40 degrees and the aquaponics tank water is 68 degrees. how long should i take to bring up the temp? is four hours or so good? the aquaponics water is from the pond as well, so it should have very similar characteristics. bryan |

.. I would have grabbed a plastic bag and used that with the cold water, and suspended in the warm water and with air .. Then just allow the natural gradual change.. .. . |
