I missed the fact that the LMB were in a pond below this one.

Yeah, I like Redears for pest control.

Lots of recommendations on different feeders here. Sweeney and Stren seem to be the favorites.

You will have to run feeders for the main food source with only fatheads for forage.

I would wait on grass carp uintil you have something for them to eat. In 2 of my 3 ponds, I have never developed a weed problem.

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
