Talk to Chris Steelman here on the forum. He had them in Texas in a pretty turbid pond.

I am leaning toward the SMB, and if they don't do well I can always go to LMB.

Its been about 6 weeks since I added the HBG and the FHM.
I was walking around the bank looking to see if I could see any signs of my fish of minnows. The water is much clearer than what it has been in the past now that I have killed off all of the bullheads.

But I had a grasshopper spook and jump in the pond, in about 2 seconds I had a 3-4" BG come up and hit it on the surface. They have grown a little so far.

setternut, pray, do tell, how did you kill off all the bullheads? They are not easy to selectively remove!

I drained the pond down as far as I could, then added hydrated lime.
