Thanks Bill. I had considered a single sex option, but was deterred when learned that breeders charge up to $100 to sex a single fish. From your comments, I seem to hear that sexing of fully mature carp is reasonably doable. Given the relatively low recruitment of carp in more common mixed ponds, I thought predation might be effective.

Now, I'm thinking I should grow them out, sex them, and then select individuals for the pond. I have a small RAC system that might work for this.
