 Quote:
Spawning is prolonged from late spring through midsummer. Eggs are deposited over submerged objects and guarded by males. Nests may contain as many as 12,000 eggs, and females may spawn as many as 12 times in a single summer. Some individuals may mature and spawn during their first summer of life, but spawning is usually delayed until the second summer.


JoeG, most of us would say "Go for it!" If you don't plant Fatheads, Sunil will probably sneak some in to your pond himself.
