fish and aquatic vermin dont move when put in artifical pond
« on: April 08, 2018, 02:13:54 pm »

in my forts i like making little artificial ponds for my dwarves to fish and drink out of.
but the problem is that when i put fish into the artificial pond they don't move. they just stay completely still.
does anyone know how to fix this?

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

The pond needs to be cycled before fish is put in. The ammonia build up is stressing the fish.

Since the oxygen is low in underground, you probably need an air stone, unless they are the low oxygen ones like cave fish.
