My 0.2 acre pond currently has approximately 16 largemouth bass, 100 bluegills, and 5 channel catfish. There are many fathead minnows for them to eat plus I feed them twice per day. Everything seems fine so far.

I was advised to add 25 hybrid sunfish next summer. I also wonder if I can add 2 hybrid striped bass for variety. Do you think it is a good idea to do either of these things and is there another fish species I may consider adding for variety?

I live in central Indiana.
