I actually meant Tshad. Not sure why I wrote gizzard.

I was looking for fish that wouldn't be trouble makers, and that could sustain a population in a lake with predators. That is why I didn't list FHM which don't last, bluback herring/alewife which have had some reportedly negative effects in other bodies of water, goldfish which make the water muddy and carry a high parasite load, and RBT and tilapia, which are annual stockers in my area.

I don't want to take over this thread and make it a forage variety thread. I'll try to find a more appropriate thread.

Thanks for the feedback.
