D.I.E.D. and Jeffhasapond should have a pretty good idea on the stocking options and availability on the lower left coast. Jeff is extremely busy at work right now.

Not to be a stickler, Kelly B, but when you do get to a hatchery, you'll be wanting FAThead minnows, and maybe some type of SHAD.
Threadfin Shad might be the ticket, however, gizzard shad can be more trouble then benefit as they can get too large to be eaten by your predator fish.
There are a few other Cali. forum members who may also be able to help. If you add the word CA. or California to your subject line, you may attract more of them to give you input.

Kelly B, where in Southern California?
DIED were getting our Northern California ponds stocked. I live in So Cal (for the time being) and have my pond in No Cal.
In L.A. county there is a listing for Kent Seatech Corporation 858-452-5765 they indicate that they sell Bluegill, Red Ears, striped and largemouth bass, and gams. No listing for fat heads.
Nothing is listed for Orange County.
I haven't used these folks (and accordingly can't vouch for them) I just found the listing for you.
It's interesting to read the link provided above. I was told that Threadfins are hard to get and so I should consider Golden Shiners instead. Go figure. Most of the fisheries don't list Threadfins but several of them do sell fatheads and golden shiners.
One of the things you're gonna find out (if you haven't already) is that we can't get a lot of fish in California that you can other places and there are different regulations in Northern California than in Southern California.
Hope this helps.

I'm in southwest Riverside co, Murrieta. I've gotten some good lead, I will follow up and then add to post.
Thanks,
Kelly B
