I second Bruce's comments and welcome you to the forum. Bruce , CB1 and Bill Cody have been working on an all male BG pond concept and Dave Willis has written a number of articles on BG. I recommend you get Pond Boss Mag. They are all northern PB's. There is much here on the forum about the lepomis ( BG,RES,and others including various hybrids). We will be glad to help but we need to know what are your goals for the pond. One basic is that no pond with fish remains static. Any of the BG type fish require management usually by having a predator species in the pond.
