Guys, this information is great. Thanks for taking the time to help me out. I'm still looking into what's available to me before I decide what to put in my pond.
I've got one last question that's more general knowledge than anything. I know that predators - like LMB and SMB - keep the forage fish population in check. But I can't help wondering what keeps the predators from over populating? Fishing? Lack of forage? Since I overstocked with CC my first go around, I'm a little shy of stocking anything that doesn't have some form of built-in fry control. I think I would tend to understock before taking a chance on overstocking and mucking up the works again.
Thanks again!
