Hi, I am looking to start adding fish in the spring once my pond fills up. I will be fertilzing and using bottom diffused aeration. I will also be feeding aquamax. I plan on stocking 750 bg, 250 res, and 10lbs of fhm. I want to be able to grow good size lmb and hybrid stripers. I want to either add them in the fall or the following spring. Or add largemouth in the fall and get slightly bigger hybrid striper in the spring. They both will be pellet trained. How many of each predator should I get to be successful? I have 2 other ponds I can supplement shiner, bg, and fhm from. Also since golden shiners are nest raiders should I only add them in the fall? Thanks for the input

I would add FHM now if you have some water (2ft) in it, then they really take off in the spring. FHM can easily survive in conditions other fish won't make it.
