Best to have the water run over rocks or baffels to add air and run in at the surface not onto dirt. It will cause turbidity as well as wash the clay out in spots.
Stocking depends on goals. Spring , early summer and fall are good times in the south. Winter is ok if the water is not too cold.
I would wait on the GC. FH , CNBG and RES first then LMB. #s and sizes depend on goals
