Absolutely "Run Forrest Run" on those fathead prices. My supplier here sells them for $8.49 per pound,and thats usually 2-300 fish. The next "fish day" is the first week of October, so the water temp can get back into the mid to low 70's. I'm like you - new pond, want to get it working, but need to learn the "patience thing" to get it done right. My new pond is .75A, and I plan on about 8 pounds of FH, 100 3-5' BG, 100 3-5" Hybrid Sunfish, and about 250 RE. I'll let them spawn next spring, and then next Oct. add my HSB and a few (10-15) CC. I'm thinking of adding about 5-8 mature male LMB. SOOOOOOOOOOOO - from one new pond owner to another, does this sound like a solid plan?? I am under the impression that your water PH needs to be about the same as a fish's Ph - about 7.3-7.6. Correct/incorrect?
