Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Stocking Rate For 1/8 Acre Pond

If you move larger fish (Bgill LMbass) from another pond into the new pond use the ratio of 30-40 BG to every bass so bass have adequate food to keep growing and some broodstock BG remain. At least one half the Bgill should be less than 1/3 the length of the bass sizes assuming LMB are 8"-10" maybe 12". Plan on each bass eating 230-300 fish per year for good growth. Maintaining lots of small LMB (6"-10") results in larger BG. Generally the more small bass you have the larger the BG become.
