Sure, I prefer threadfin but they are really tough to handle. Gizzards are better but get large enough to be an egg eating problem. All in all, I'm not wild about messing with them.
One thing you need to consider is the allowable biomass of a water hole. At some point, you can get too many fish and foul the water. When or if that occurs, you wind up with a dissolved oxygen shortage and a die off. The larger fish go first.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
