How long do you plan to let the forage fish in the pond before stocking predators?

There are around 8 lbs of FHM per gallon. Numbers per gallon will depend on the size of the minnows. In fall the minnows tend to be smaller than those purchased in spring. FHM at 1.5" will have close to 500-600/lb whereas 2.25" FHM will have around 220-250/lb. 2.5" has abt 125-150/lb.
