In the last month we have had two big rains and the pond is almost full.
I can now see it is never going to be 10 acres .
As is sets it is right at 5 and when full it will not be much bigger.
How bad did I mess up?
Will starting out with too many fish sort it's self out ?


I am not a pro but it seems logical to me, if you have stocked beyond the capacity of the pond, the result will be starvation and death of the weakest until a balance is reached with available forage. I would expect stunting of the CNBG as part of that balance if significant predation is not provided. Again, I am not a pro. Hopefully, one will be along to provide their experience.
