Welcome to the forum!
Look in the archives for the thread on carrying capacity. Pay attention to how many pounds of fish per surface acre you can have.
Each top line predator in the pond will eat around 10# of fish per year, more if possible. So, run the numbers on how many top line predatory fish you have in the pond, and hwo many forage fish you need in the pond.......
Remember that you cannot tell a fish what species to eat, they will eat whatever fits in their mouth when they are hungre.
Another thing to keep in mind is that bass like to eat fish arond 1/4 their body length.
What fish will be your forage base in the pond?
