Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Hybrid Bluegill / Redear

Good info. If it were my pond - and it most definitely isn't, I think I would try the grass shrimp, fathead minnow, RB or BR (is male or female listed first?) route followed up with stocking of a very limited number of HSB and maybe a single SMB or something to pick off any offspring and help keep the fathead minnows in check. I may still see if I can talk him into something like that unless you recommend differently.

Tries to always scare away the ducks / geese that try to land and would like the fact that the few fish would eat the bugs. Wants the water as pristine as possible. I guess I'd rather not drink goose or fish poop either; but he has a very good filtration system and is pulling the water from near pond surface...
