TJ and Heppy - I don't know of people adding alewives to a pond up north or other places. I know in some big waters they can cause problems with native species (like any herbivore fish can do ) but should be no problem in a small managed water. My guess is the hard part will be gauging the right numbers of each. I would not expect to be able to establish an ongoing population of all species however. Not so for gizzard shad I would avoid them in your situation. Alewives and TFS are similar in size where Gshad get too big.
