Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose 1 Month until Stocking

BG and Green Sunfish. Consensus opinion here is that they grow faster than BG for about the first year, as their bigger mouths let the eat large food items sooner than BG, and typical "top out" out around 3/4 lbs.

I DO NOT recommend stocking both BG and HBG. The BG's fecundity wipes out the HBG's chief advantage, better numbers control.
