All the species have a use and place in ponds, it all comes down to what each pond situation is and the goals of the owners. The more I've learned, the more I see "facts" only apply in labaratories and specific settings...when it comes to the pond itself, it all seems to come down to making the best educated guess we can based on a multitude of experiences, but it's still a guess nonetheless.
Edit...Personally, I think tilapia are the best fish too stock!
