I'm leaning towards CC and BG. I think CC are little heartier than HSB. I will definitely head everyone's advice and keep the numbers low.
Weekender, I am bushed after a 500mile roundtrip to pick up my annual HSB stockers, but your post above suggests your interest in CC.
You coujd not run fast enough to get me to stock CC in any size pond, let alone a small one..

I don't give advise on the forum -only share experience, including mistakes. Overstocking stocking CC was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made.
EVERY CC hooked should be removed because they will never bite anything again with a string attached - as Dave Davidson is fond of saying.
They will get big and cause major problems.
I am a CNBG/HSB fan with lots of successful small pond experience.
Link below is information regarding HSB if in the future you become interested.
Good luck,
George
