Pond Boss in every issue has an article about the Mini-pond. Small pond owners should subscribe. Fishes in a mini-pond can grow to larger sizes. One of the "tricks" is to use individuals that feed on fish pellets, and the second trick is choose species that do not spawn. Non-spawning reprductively active fish would be stocking all male or all females. Some fish will not spawn (HSB) or those that produce few offspring RES or HBG. A third "trick" is to keep the numbers low by heavy harvest of offspring or preventing spawning. Too many individuals results in less food and slower growth.
