Good advice so far and let me add I was encouraged to add Bluntnose minnows and Spotfin shiners. Very happy I did as six yrs later they are here but no FH after one month of HSB.I way over stocked the HSB tho. Have you researched spawning structures for your different forage? It's hard but the be patient thing is true and then all of a sudden your pond is four yrs old with some really nice fish. Keep askin and good luck.

Do nature a favor, spay/neuter your pets and any weird friends or relatives.
