Ron, I love CC in a pond; especially as a food fish. Catch and eat them at 1.5 to 2 pounds and restock when they start running low.

I have no idea why anyone would not recommend CC due to overspawn. I've never heard this before by a hatchery or fish seller.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
