Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain New Pond Questions

Thanks Rockville. That all makes sense. I called Andersons last year but it was the week they stopped shipping. I was a bit late. I may contact them.

If you order from them let us know how it goes!

Give Andersons a call. I've used them before and have had great success. Just stocked some FHM and Brooder GSH in a clients pond. They really know their stuff when it comes to shipping fish. The box was very well insulated, and they had 4 gel cold packs in there. They even wrapped insulation around the gel packs so they wouldn't transmit cold too quickly to the fish. There were about 10 dead FHM, but 0 dead GSH. There is instructions with the order. Just float the bag in the pond like you would do with fish for an aquarium.

I put the 250,000 GSH fry in my pond when I packed all the fish into a small area for the renovation, and added 10# of FHM. All the fish were packed into probably 1/20 ac with aeration and a feeder too. I lost 2 BG in the 3 month renovation.

Another 2 ac pond had the 250,000 GSH fry added a month before FHM when the pond was first dug, (it had a good bloom). Even with LMB and HSB in the pond, it still has GSH today, going on 5 yers later.
