I will mostly be using the pond for kids to fish in a few times a year. It is exciting for them to catch big fish, so catfish is the choice. I have heard good/bad about the HBG, so was wanting to go with regular BG/CNB/RES. I planned on putting in LMB, I think they recommended 25-30, to control the BG and then CC. They then asked about the BC. I was told that they grow faster and would control the BG. I was told that CC would not control the BG population. I was also told that if I put LMB in the pond, that it would be very difficult to stock more CC at a later date. With BC in the pond, they would control the BG and I could also restock CC at a later date.
Does this info sound correct. If it does, would the BC be a good idea in just fewer numbers. What would be reccommended for what I am looking for.
Although the fish choice is for kids who fish a few times a year, it will be fished as much as needed to control populations of whatever is stocked. The pond is right next to the house. I will be feeding.
