dave, i had my pond shocked last week and they said i was a little short on bass.i'm having a real hard time with the company that did the work,the info. they are giving me is not the same as i get from this web site.the bass that i put in the lake when i built it were about 3 inches long,so now i'm wondering what happens if i add bass 3 inches long to a lake 3 years old.i have not been able to find a supplier that would ship larger bass to louisiana.thanks
