Hi jeffhasapond:

I hear you concerning the second pond. But if you keep my goals in mind, I do not think that a LMB/BG pond is a good idea. Do you have any other ideas? I am open to suggestions, but please keep my goals in mind.

Thanks & regards,
FRIZ


Let's let someone that really knows what they are talking about give you an opinion Friz. I'd probably suggest something like a Manatee/Pink Dolphin mix for a swimming pond and the experts would have a conniption over it. \:D

Cecil is in IN and he has raised many different species including several types of trout. Cecil any thoughts about the species of fish that Friz could use in IN that would work keeping his goals in mind?
