Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Raising Perch

You better want to do this for fun because it will be very labor intensive (6 to 7day/wk job, abt 15min to 1hr/day)and much more expensive in the long run compared to buying 4"to6" perch for restocking.

Hatching the egg ribbon or a section and stocking the fry is one thing but raising those fry to 4" fingerlings is a whole different ball game.

I think you are better off buying some fingerling perch and feeding them in a cage during the summer for release in the fall. This alone will probably consume more time than you are willing to spend daily. Cheaper, less work, and about the same amount of fun.

How many perch do you want to produce for restocking? As many as possible out of one egg ribbon?
