In the mean time, tell us about your pond... How big is it? Besides LMB and HSB, what else is in your pond? What are your goals for the pond? Inquiring minds want to know. $\:D$ We're glad you found us!

I have just removed about 160 4-6 pound CC in that past month leading up to placment of these fish in the pond. The ones I'm speaking of were all 6-8 inches. I was going to put them in cages but the guys that delivered them stated they were fast enough to fend for themselves. I also purchased some hybrid BG that I am feeding in the cages. dentist by day pondboss by night

I was going to put them in cages but the guys that delivered them stated they were fast enough to fend for themselves. My first fish guy told me the same story .... Rex got it right - most expensive fish food ever stocked. HSB need to be 8+ inches in order to survive mature predators. N.E. Texas 2 acre and 1/4 acre ponds Original george #173 (22 June 2002)

Takes a fish a few days to get his wits back about him from being trucked around the country. how is the feeding the HBG going in the cages?

If a pond has adult predators twice the size of the fish to be stocked then habituation is IMO the wise choice. http://www.pondboss.com/forums/ubbthread...=true#Post22246 http://www.pondboss.com/forums/ubbthread...=true#Post26019

They came up to feed within the first 3-4 days. Now not all of them came up... I'd say now only 10-20% of them still come up since the pond is 3-4 acres.
