Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Minnow Problem

Throw up a picture when you can. They may be the young fish of a larger fish, or they may stay small.

Water temp plays a role in stocking a predator fish, to an extent. If the fish stay small, then only smaller predators will prey heavily on them. That's why a pic or an ID is important.

If you can give a guesstimate on the temps in the summer, that might be close enough. I was thinking Hybrid Striped Bass, but I am not 110% sure how well they would do if the minnows stayed small and were in warm water.
