What would be the different niche that fatheads fill? I know that they are a little slower than the bluntnose so they are more easily captured and eaten by young bass. Are there any other differences?
I had planned on using cinder blocks placed about one per square yard in about 18" of water. The substrate will be sand and gravel and I am hoping establish a fair amount of vegetation for them to hide in. I can dedicate however much space is necessary for them to reproduce. I thought that the golden shiners could use the same vegetation as a place to spawn as well.
Any thoughts on the subject?
Thank you for all of the help so far. I know that with the right information my fishery can be a success the first time around.
