i live in central indiana and the recommended stocking for a new pond, (that i have read) includes many pounds of fatheads. it also suggests about 50% of this weight to be restocked every year. i am not concerned with the money, i am mainly concerned of having a nice lmb factory. my main question is: will these minnows spawn? or will they just be eaten this fall when i stock my largemouth. i will be starting with fingerlings of gills, cats, and then bass this fall. i am just curious about information on these minnows and it is difficult to find because they are not one of the popular fish to catch, they are mainly bait.
