A balanced pond will USUALLY hold about 100 pounds of predators. Yeah, you got some lousy advice on the cats. Start catching and eating.

I would PERSONALLY try to eliminate the HBG's. They will only spawn somewhat and produce only green sunfish, a highly prized specimen for some of us and a dreaded curse to some of the weenies here.


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.
