rex. NO beach area for swimmers? Swimmers will be walking around on a mud bottom?
SMB are not more maintenance than LMB and they will spawn. Those are more myths. My neighbor has ONLY SMB in his swimming pond and the SMB spawn each yr in the 1/4" sized crushed lime stone. I am getting some good info from that pond for my articles about SMB in Pond Boss mag this year. Subscribe to PBoss mag.
Catfish will cause water cloudy problems in your swimming pond. I would omit them. You can always add them later if the pond begins to fill up with dead stuff. A good bottom aeration system will better help process the dead stuff than catfish.
