Craig, I'm a bluegill fan. Assuming a proper mix of predator/prey (with you lending a hand as both), you can achieve a pretty good balance.

I don't think anything presents the problem potential of crappie in a small pond.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
