Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat Habitat for different animals

Ok, so i would like some advice on creating habitat for different animals in a hypothetical pond (roughly 3-5 acres with BG, LMB, and Readear) i am thinking of building.

1) Crayfish - For the kind that do not burrow, what do they need for hiding? I know they will hide under rocks and plants, what could i create for them that they will like? (on a side note, will they be able to create a established community)

2) FHM - I see most people putting pallets in their ponds for them. Are there better options? How should i use these pallets to create their habitat?

3) TS - I know they move through the open water, but is their any habitat that i could create for them that they may use? Such as at night or something?


Any other tips for anything would be appreciated.

1) piles of bricks in shallow water (3 ft less)

2) pallets seem to be the best.. Check the habitat thread there's all kinds of stuff in there sorry don't have a link.. (little help here guys)

3) TS (im guessing you mean TFS) I flat have no idea but I think they breed on rip rap could be totally wrong there lol

Thank you
