Bill - and the two larger ( fat) fish you noted as HBG i think were my "home made" fish that were already in the pond. Everything i put in were BG ( the top 3 pix) despite being told i was getting HBG.
So, given i have some mixture of Mutt HBG in there already i suppose i let it run to create more of a Mutt mixture???....or clean it out and start over.
My original plan was to put in 15-20 HSB as predator fish.
BUT, now that I've realized that i have pond full of primarily BG ( vs HBG), should than change my predator fish strategy? Do i put in more HSB to control the explosion of BG ( if so, how many in a .2 acre pond), or go LMB? And finally, i suppose the HSB would be 3-5".....or would one suggest any larger, and if there any benefit ( or not) to stocking those this Fall, or wait until SPring20.
Suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks!
.20 acre pond-that leaks/4-5' deep. Stocked 6/22/19 with 300 BG(supposed to be HBG, removed 100+/- so far), 100 RES, 3carp. On 8/20 added 300 HBG, + 21 5"HSB. 8/21 added 5 8" SMB, one 10" LMB , one 14" CC
