Cons...1. it is usually an all or nothing solution. I do not want vegetation in my ponds we are making for bream/bass and fertilizing. If you want some vegetation try fewer than recommend and you might see some value, but usually will do little or wipe it out (good thing to me)
2. they love fish food, will eat food intended for sportfish.
3. if stocked too small can easily escape over spillway and end up as expensive bass food.
Pros...1. They will save tons in weed treatments.
2. Do not muddy ponds, golf couses stock 30/acre and still do not have muddy ponds, this comes from the name of grass carp b/c common carp do muddy pond, really these are white amur.
Stock at a rate of 5-15/acre. You may want to try only 5 and see what happens. Make sure they are 11-13 inches if you have bass 16 inches or better or other large predators.
