Wow, so much to think about!
sprkplug - add RES to the mix? The local ponds around here do have a lot of snails and mussels, would the RES help with that? RES get big around here, which would be nice. I would like a self-sustaining population of fish, but I'm willing to restock if necessary.
fish n chips - There's a hatchery right near here, but I don't know if they sell YP, I'll have to look into that. Good point.
TJ - We have tons of rocks here which I was planning to put in the pond for structure,and I figured I would sink some tree branches but do YP prefer vegetation? Should I buy plants or will they find their way in on their own?
Since the pond is only going to be 1/3 acre I don't think I can put a whole lot of fish in there. If I stock too many fish, what's the downside? Stunted fish?
