Hi everyone! I'm a new member to the forum, but have been reading posts for a few months now. They are extremely informative!
I have a new 1/3 acre pond that was built in april and just recently filled up thanks to the past two hurricanes. I just made my first order of Copper Nose Blue Gill, Channel Cat, and Fat Head Minnows. In the early sping, I plan on adding Florida stain bass. My question is about triploid grass carp though. I talked to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and fisheries, but didn't get much information other than I need a permit for the fish. Before I pay for the permit, what are the pros and cons of stocking a couple grass carp in my pond? Being a new pond, there is not a weed/grass problem yet. However, would it be a good idea to get a couple carp right now for sort of a preventative maintenace? Any other information on the grass carp will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
