trialsguy, just a couple of thoughts about a small pond like yours. First, make sure your water quality stays good by adding aerators. Next, consider feeding pellets to your fish. That way you don't have to worry about whether or not you are producing enough forage. Pelleted food will be your basic nutrietion with natural forage as a nice add on.

Remember that the very easiest pond to manage is one that doesn't have any successful reproduction. That way to can put in what ever you wish and not have to worry about it taking over.
