Take heart - GSH and FHM look awfully similar from the top view - although IME GSH do tend to be a more open water schooling fish. I sure hope your GSH made it - Anderson's is a great company and it sounds like you could use some good news on your KC pond. [Isnt' this the one in an urban area and you're fighting major nutrient issues?] If you have any shallow, grassy areas that provide protection from predation you SHOULD have GSH established...

If you don't have any luck with the minnow traps or seining, let me know. Shawn Banks and Rex Rains service your area and could bring a few lbs of mature shiners to do their thing - I know their prices are very reasonable and they are good guys. Heck, I owe Shawn a visit this Spring - I'll even drive down some of my adult GSH if you want, and some CSBG to sweeten the deal. All I want is for your pond to be successful, and if I may be so bold, a diet pepsi too? ;\)
