Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Selecting a site My Pipe Dream

It all depends on water quality. Arron Mateo grew some big SMB in Phoenix, Az. I doubt your water will be warmer than his.

Some forage fish for SMB that won't overpopulate a pond are RES, YP, GSH, FHM. I've seen the SMB wipe out populations of those forage fish, so it's a balance that you'll have to do between predator and prey. BG fecundity is too much for SMB to control them.
