Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations NY Forage Fish Help in Existing Pond

Do the pumpkinseed(PS) seem to be relatively common with the BG? They utilize a slightly different niche than the BG thus add forage diversity. It may be difficult to get shiners established if there is reduced amounts of habitat and if you cannot locate adult 5"-7" shiners. If you maintain a proper BG-sunfish population and don't allow the bass to be overabundant the sunfish-BG community can grow big bass as it does in many ponds.
