We all stock in the best way that suits us, is in our budget and what our individual goals are with all the info we can find..that's about all anyone can do. If anyone knew the perfect stocking rates for all ponds, there would be little need for the forum.
Glad you got your fish swimming in your pond urup. One piece of unsolicited advice I have is to not target any CC till 2013 and after that, don't release any CC caught back into the pond or they'll often become very large and uncatchable after being caught even once. CC can take up a lot of your pond's carrying capacity.
