I am thinking about introducing few German Carp into my 3/4 acre pond in SE Texas. The pond is already muddy, as are all other ponds and reservoirs in the area (2 miles south of lake Sommerville), so I have nothing to loose there.

They are a beautiful fish and fight hard. The question is, where can I get some, and how large should they be to avoid being eaten by the one or two 18" channel cats that I have? Should I just try my luck in lake Sommerville and release it in my pond?
