Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Identifying plants Coontail, Fish stocking and chem check

Ok a bit of a loaded question. I have a pond with coontail growing, i did some research and there are a few products out there but i also came across this kit. Anyone have any words of wisdom with getting rid of coontail with this kid OR without these kits?

As part of the same question, our local fish truck is coming and they have channel cat, large mouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, hybrid bluegill, red ear bream, and fathead minnows. I have pretty much a clean slate and dont want to get too deep (pun included) in stocking the pond just yet but maybe invest in getting a baseline started.

1) Which fish are recommended
2) Will any of the chemicals in these kits above have an adverse effect on them?

Thanks!

Are there any fish in the pond right now?

There is at least 1 fish. A perch which my neighbor caught and let go. Its only about a 1/4 acre pond. Fairly small. Tons of bull frogs and turtles

Is it a brand-new pond? It's strange that it wouldn't have any fish in it, otherwise. Was there a fish kill?

A perch in Texas is likely a green sunfish(GSF).

Come on Bill that's not always true.... Well maybe

Main concern is are you treating the whole lake or spot treatment? If doing a whole lake treatment, do it early. Spot treatment if small or needed because vegetation would produce a DO crash.

As per fish, that would be mainly on your goals. You could do any number of fish combinations or single species.

Anyone recommend a quick shipping reputable bulk fish supplier?

The company got back to me on price. Way high if im going to need to do this often. Here's what the quoted. Based on this info, can anyone recommend a suitable DIY set of chemicals to do on my own. Dont really understand when to use granules vs liquids and when to combine liquids with other liquids.

* Cutrine Ultra Chemical Applied: Cutrine Ultra w/penetrant (per gallon)
- ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Copper as elemental


* Komeen Chemical Applied: Komeen (per gallon)
- ACTIVE INGREDIENT: 8% Copper as elemental


* TARGET PLANT SPRAYED Filamentous Algae and Actively Growing Macrophytes

SimpleGreen,

I just sent you a pm.

Granular or chemical treatment is determined by aquatic weed species and stage of its life cycle. Mixing liquid chemicals need to be done with caution, some mixes can have a bad reaction with each other.

Is there a more economical set of applications that can handle the aquatics above? anyone have any suggestions for self application?

everyone must be out on their ponds.......................
