Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose YP Reproduction pond guidance

Is this just to produce fingerlings or if not, what is the purpose? Sorry if I missed the post.

To produce fingerlings in my 1/10th acre pond I put about 5 females in a 5 x 5 cage with about 15 males, I also bundle some willow branches on the bottom with yellow polypropylene rope and part of a cinder block to weight it down.

There's possibility the branches aren't even necessary.

This year I will be trying something different.Since my fish are essentially ornamental fish and not destined for the table, I will be injecting the females with Ovaprim to synchronize the spawning. One of the problems with spawning several females is they do not spawn all at once, which can cause a size disparity and subsequent cannabilism of offspring.
