I'm curious if it would be a decent choice for my plantless pond. I'm needing to introduce plant life for food and hiding of any/all bait I introduce.

We can go from there. I have no idea what it is. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).
