thats all I needed to hear. I did not spend 1000's on my property and dream pond to battle with problems over a few hundred bucks...I just put 1000 golden shiners in, from local gander Mountain, and they have a health dept. sticker attached to them...It makes me feel good! In a few weeks I am taking the wife and kids to a local fish hatchery to see the different fish. I am pretty sure im going with perch and SMB. Great info here..
