I agree. I don't know what "irrigation canal water" means, but it sounds
scary. Sounds to me like it could be riddled with run off? Fertilizer? BV

The point was missed. The point being, we don't know what their exchange
water is, not that ammo-lock would fix canal water, that is full of run-off
(especially from this river) besides possible added algaecide. That was my
point. ~ jan ;o)

"Aaah, riiight, uh huh...." walking away scratching head wondering, what do
coconuts & swallows have to do with pond and water, and why would a swallow
want to grip a coconut? But hey, if it makes sense to BV it's okay by me.

drain the pond down to less than a foot to get the fish out, then drain rest of way.
I cant catch mine any other way. Ingrid

It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight
ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound coconut. Really, Jan,
come on.

Well if the coconut is in the pond........ he could grip it and move it.
Which begs the question, why did the coconut cross the pond?
