I have a small pond that over flows to my larger pond when it rains. This small pond is round, about fifty feet across and about two feet deep and filled with lily pads. Going to try to raise Golden shiners in this pond to over flow and keep my larger pond stocked with minnows. Wish me luck. lol

Good luck! I'll bet once the fish are in there you'll see a lot of herons looking for a meal.

Make sure there are no fish in the small pond. Even one or two bass can eat lots of baby fish.

Depending on how much overflow and how steep the overflow is, I am betting fish from your main pond can swim up it into the smaller pond. This is probably particularly true during times of heavy rain and increased flow. As Bob said, just a few small bass or GSF can eat a lot of your hopefully baby shiners.
And oh yeah, welcome to Pond Boss! Why don't you share more about your bigger pond and your goals and accomplishments with it...
