Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Alternative Pond Forage

Working with a guy to try and convey species of alternative forage that can reproduce/establish in a pond environment that have been historically difficult to source and/or are cost prohibitive to stock. My hope is to create a reliable source of alternative forage that can be shipped to our PB family at an affordable price.

Here's the species list I'm compiling for him to begin working on - please let me know if I'm missing anything you'd like to see:

Lake Chubsucker
Bluntnose Minnow
Spotfin Shiner
Johnny Darter
Banded Kilifish

Would you like to see any crayfish species?

Lastly, I'm also trying to work on setting reasonable pricing as fishery managers will likely be ordering larger qtys of fish than garden pond owners, etc. Any feedback on pricing tolerance for the species listed would be helpful so I can give him some numbers to shoot for.

Thanks guys, hopefully this will provide a good resource for all of us soon!
