Thanks DD and ewest. I looked at the links and some other pics of greenies I found online. I yanked some out of my small pond and they appear to be BG, based primarily on the shape - 6" fish that it more "round" and not "long" like perch or bass. Other than that - hard to tell. I am going to transfer some. I am also going to order a deliver of live fish - BG, RES and minnows.

Do I need to wait for the pond to fill? Is there a better time than now. I think because of the leaves, grass, etc. in the water at the shore there is ample bug life. The frogs and tads have moved in, as well as the first muskrat.


2/3 acre pond 12 miles from that big pond we call Lake Erie.
