No problem with stocking them. Heck, I would also let the coppernose spawn a couple of times before I put in LMB.

Regarding predator stocking advice from Dunns as versus here? We don't sell fish.

Why HBG? I don't see their value in the mix.

Others chime in: Are CNBG recommended as far North as OK City? Would native BG do as well or better?

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.
