My pond has been filling and is about 1/3 acre in size and probably 8' deep (will be 1 acre and 13-14' deep when full). I was thinking of adding 20# of fathead minnows this month and I have a few questions.
1. Is this enough water for 20# of the FH minnows?
Definitely.
2. How difficult is it to hand sort 20# of FH minnows?
A LOT of work. It's often suggested to stock lower numbers of FHMs. You ensure there are no hitchhikers and they spawn like crazy anyway.
3. Would I be ok to also add the RES now or should I wait until next spring when I add the perch?
No reason to not stock them now, in my opinion.
