I wish you well in your endeavor. Things are not always as easy as they seem.
Heck, I can't even get fatheads established in my erosion settlement ponds. The bullfrogs eat them as fast as I can dump them in there. Last week, I again put a mix of black fatheads and rosy reds in two settlement ponds that are about 10 x 20, and three foot deep. The next day, not a one was found. Just bullfrogs and bullfrog tadpoles.
But, then I can't even keep minnows. I went to a local creek and got a batch of creek chubs last night for my catfish. When I got done fishing it was late, and I was too lazy to transfer them from the five gallon bucket to a holding tank. I just kept the aerator in the bucket. This morning there were only three left in the bucket. Most committed suicide last night by jumping out of the bucket. When the dog was let out this morning, he cleaned up the corpses just about before I figured out what happened.
