Just enough for the amount that the pond is full, not the 3 acres. My thoughts are that if any spawn at all successfully, then basically those are free fish. Yes, you'll lose some to Kingfishers and Herons, but I think you'll still be $$ ahead. Threadfin Shad won't work - too far North (cold). Your standard minnows will do, Fatheads and Golden Shiners. CJ should be weighing in later tonight, he'll recommend different types of native minnows. He's correct, but since I don't know the species like he does, I'll leave those up to him. What are your goals for the pond? What species of fish do you want to stock once the pond is full? That'll be a really nice pond once it's full! www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).
