JKB,
That's what I was thinking. I don't really have any experience to call on but the pictures I've seen seem to indicate some sort of shiner (too many species out there to be sure what kind) but a GSH seems to be, well, more golden. I'm just thankful that they aren't little carp.
I was planning on getting some GSH this Spring and putting in the pond so now maybe I have a headstart. I'll post another thread soon about my crazy idea to turn a 1/4-1/3 acre pond into a crappie pond. I'm sure that'll raise some debate and interesting comments.
I will be a subscriber before the end of the day. Thanks for the help!
