Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Stocking a new pond with RES, YP and SMB

When buying fish it is important to look at the fish before buying them. Look for any fungus and/or marks on the fish. Ask to see them feed on pellets in their tank. Stressed fish do not eat pellets very well. Fish farms remove all dead fish from tanks before customers show up. Fish sold late in the spring when water temps are above 75F could possibly be under holding stress. Buyer always beware.
Remlingers do have a replacement policy, but don't get replacement fish now. Get a credit voucher and use it this fall or next spring when water is less than 72F.
