Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Hello everybody:

...swimming will be best in the SMB pond - guaranteed. Plan to use SMB pond for the swimming; esp for the females...
...Keep in mind that a SMB pond can very easily be converted to a LMB pond just by adding LMB and or BG. But one cannot make a successful thriving SMB pond from a LMB pond without removing all the LMB.

Ponds with small fish (1"-2") rarely have a mosquito problem. Mosquitos are VERY vulnerable to small fish predation...
