Wade, my goals are to have a decent looking pond, with a balanced, healthy population of bass and bluegill. I also use the pond for swimming. I understand that it is difficult to have a multi use pond, but its between the road and my house and I need it to look good. I want it to be inviting so that I can get the wife to do some swimming with me, and I really love to fish.
Lovnlivin, I was told to stock about 100 mixed sex tilapia for the controll of watermeal and algae, that comes to an investment of 125 bucks. I have already spent almost 300 in chemicals this year with so so results. If the tilapia do their job it will be worth the investment. And if not, I will have a lot of fish to put in the freezer this fall. Win win for me.
