I'd like to get by with no aeration if possible.
I'm not really sure on the exact sizes of fish I'm shooting for. I'm planning to have LMB, BG, and CC in the big pond. I'd like to have plenty of medium sized bass and BG for the kids to catch, with a few monsters in there to keep the adults entertained. I'd like eating sized catfish. My thoughts on the forage were that the bluegill would eat the minnows and then the bigger bass would eat the bluegill. Does that make sense?
