I caught a bunch of minnows that I have ID'd to be Bullhead Minnow in my crawfish trap.
Would it be unwise to just throw them in the pond? The pond was stocked in early June with BG, RES and about 6 or 7 lbs of Fathead Minnow. Added 20 medium 4-8" Yellow Perch about a month ago.
Will adding the Bullheads hurt anything? I am thinking just more food for the BG,RES and YP. Will the Bullheads reproduce and help - or perhaps compete with the Fatheads and not be as prolific?

I am guessing all the minnows will be wiped out anyway so maybe it just doesn't matter.


2/3 acre pond 12 miles from that big pond we call Lake Erie.
