Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Controlling FA with Golden Shiners

Theo,

Thanks for the replies and posts. As I have stated I put 10 GC in my new 2.16 ac. pond last week to control FA. I stocked the LMB, BG, CC, FHM last Sept. so everything is growing up together> I added another 2000 FHM last month as I did not think the BG had enough time to spawn and provide forage for the little bass. I now have incredible numbers of minnows in the pond so the forage base looks very good.

Question- Would you recommend stocking GSH now to help with the FA? Is there a downside to them with the BG and LMB being small still?How many would you stock if you were me and there was no problem adding them to the "mix"?
