Recommendations for stocking 3/8 acre new pond - 02/18/17 04:34 AM
Completed dig of pond last August in NE Ohio. Dug Approx 10 ft deep in middle. Planted grass on both sides of dam and around pond which has come up nicely for erosion and added a lot of structure and dock last fall. About another 2 1/2 feet and it will be full which I hope will it will be by this May or earlier. Water around edge is looking clearer all the time and plan on putting in a aereating system this spring. Have not had water tested yet if necessary?
I am looking to stock FHM BG or HBG LMB and maybe RES so my question is how many of each should be stocked and the timing going forward. Should I stock FHM this Spring and then wait until summer/fall for others? Do I need to feed the minnows/fish? Can I stock some BG at same time as FHM?.. or better off waiting after the FHM?
