Makes sense Esshup..thanks
What would be the smallest size HSB given I'm not sure what if any fish are in the pond, should I go with 8-10 inch ? Also, given the size of the pond 2.5 acres is it going to be hard to get them on the pellet feeding if I only stock 20-30 of them? I'll try to feed at the same time each day, but like I said it will probably only be 4-5 times a week.

Probably get them from Jones fish farm, their prices seem a bit high for the HSB but they are the most convient for me.
