Allchca, I'm reading between the lines a little, but if you want bass and black crappie, here's my advice. Stock fatheads/golden shiners/mosquitofish and bgill first, 3 to 6 months later, stock bass. The shiners/mosquitofish will prey upon eggs, but some of the bass should reproduce. Once you're bass heavy, stock crappie around May/June the following year. You may lose a few of the crappie you stock to the bass, but that mix should keep the crappie from overpopulating. (that is if you have decent visibility in your pond) I love to catch large bass for the fight, and big crappie for the skillet...works well for me. p.s. you may need to add crappie as you deplete them.
