CJ also check on the feeding of carp. What type, how much, and how often?. I am pretty sure carp will eat softened field corn which is fairly cheap now at abt $3.50-4.50/bushel shelled (56 lbs) from farmers or grain elevators.
So far from CJ's information, if one wants mainly carp, maybe no or very few predators are needed if harvest of carp is adequate and a regular. Adequate annual harvest is key to the success. Why put a fox in the pen with chickens, if one wants lots of chickens? This is a fairly new concept for us on Pond Boss.

How many carp, can a carp pond produce, if one wants carp,carp,carp?
