Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose New pond. Help with stocking quantities

We have a new 1/3 acre pond located in ID. Deepest point is 13.5 ft with average depth of 8-9 feet.

The pond was dug last summer, and was full by winter. Water clarity is pretty good, but the level is starting to drop a little probably due to evaporation and wind.

We would now like to stock CC and Rosy Red minnows, but have never had fish before. I'm kind of at a loss of how many of each to get. The minnows are sold in either lots of 500 or 1000.....seems like a lot of fish! CC are sold as each, or increments of 25.

Suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!
