If i was in your shoes i would stock as many fathead minnows as you can. you cant have enough. Also stock the redear and teh coppernose. The coppernose will be the main forage base. as far as the hybrid they are mainly there for a sport fish to catch they reproduce at a very low rate and will be big enough to compete for food with bass, as they too will eat your minnows and small coppernose bluegill. be patient stock minnows and redear and wait then coppernose. after a year and half stock your channel cat and small bass. what do you want out of your pond?
