Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose GSF Overpopulation

If you enjoy dealing with small sunfish and learning predatory tendencies of fish populations then try the SMB, WE, spotted bass combination. Don't expect noticeable removal of sunfish by the SMB-WE combo. Spotted bass should be a better predator of sunfish. If you really want to get back to a balanced fish community then rotenone the pond when inflow is the least and start over. Two gallons of rotenone in 1/3 ac at about 4ppm will provide very good removal of tolerant GSF. One gallon on your pond will result in 2ppm which in good conditions will often kill all the GSF.
