The beauty of a mini pond that's easily drained/seined/refilled is one can launch experimental fisheries with little downside. I would imagine very intensive management would be needed if the pond remains a pure BC pond. Or, you could consider as many suggest adding some Apex predators to help you control numbers. I think 10-20 single sex LMB would be an interesting solution - sounds like Ozark has some experience with this and it yielded good results.

I love the experiment, we all can learn something new potentially from your efforts! Keep us in the loop.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
