As Barry says the creek chub is common in creeks and ditches in your area. If you get minnows form a stream you at least should learn to recognize the common chubs, shiners and minnows. Chubs in a pond will get large if not first eaten by a bass. Bass love chubs and a 14" bass can easily eat a chub up to 10" long. I doubt that chubs will survive very long in your small pond with a few larger adult bass present. At least I have never been able to get chubs to survive in a smaller pond with bass in it. Chubs disappear faster than the other similar lengthed spiney fish species.
