Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Need so much help I don't know where to start.

If you can, take some clear close up pictures of the fish (side views) and each individual plant that you have questions about. Post them on here and we can tell you what the plants and fish are, and what condition the LMB are (overcrowded, etc.)

A good company will help you with where to place the diffusers for the aeration system so that it works the best in your pond.

I'd keep every crappie that you catch, either to eat or to feed the raccoons.

I'm with Dave. Don't stock any fish now, the heat stresses them too much. You can stock in the Fall when it gets cooler. Keep the $$ in your pocket right now, lets formulate a plan for the pond first.
