Thanks for the input Bill! I really struggled with what the right number of GC to stock would be. Maybe the answer in a half acre is 0 if the goal is not to wipe out all vegetation! It will at least be an interesting experiment. The pond also has, hybrid lilies, pickerelweed, duck potato, eel grass, creeping rush, hardstem bullrush and a little of a few others. Maybe I will gain some insight as to what vegetation the GC prefer and can provide some info back here.

If the GC really start to get out of hand, I have read that they are good eating.... grin
