Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain FM, BC, and LM.

Okay so I'll just have to stick with bluegill as a main prey then. When I remembered that bluegill spawn several times a year and crappie spawned only once I figured my idea was pretty much kaput. So thanks for all of your guy's help when/if I stock my pond I'll just stick to bluegill and maybe add crappie later when I have an established bass population if I'm even still interested in crappies then.

I learned something though. And I'm better off now since I won't even be trying the crappie/bass idea. Would cost too much, too.

Brian,
I thought you were talking about mosquito fish aka gambusia minnows I hadn't even thought of tilapia. This is Indiana not Texas. Threadfin shad would have been hard enough to find around here let alone some chilid Native to the nile river.
