Dumper, Fatheads are extremely prolific and can foul the water quickly. No matter what direction you go, be prepared to change the water often and to release a bunch of them. Forage ponds can be a lot of work. I put a pound of fatheads and 100 bluegills in a 1/5 acre pond in the early spring. By the next year the water was nasty looking green and almost devoid of life. We had seined twice to get forage for a neighbors pond. Until I quit messing with it, I had a gold mine. However, they soon overspawned and everything was gone.
