Hi,
I have a 1/3 of an acre pond currently stocked with catfish, most of them a year old, with very few 4 year old (maybe 3 or 4 from observations). I only feed occasionally, maybe twice a week. The catfish are put and take, last batch was 100 of them. We will start harvesting those this year. I will like to add more variety to the pond. Not looking for trophy fish, but rather nice size fish for the table and as much action for the kids!.
My plan is to add 100 Coppernose Bluegill this year, with around 25 redear for good measure. Is this to many fish for a small pond?. I was thinking that I may need to add some bass to control bluegill?, not looking for a bass pond, just for control.. If so, how many do you think? I'm west of Houston.
Also, how about Minnows, there are seems to be some volunteers in the pond, not sure where they came from, as the pond was completely dry before the catfish were added and I didn't put them in!.
