Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking Big problem in my Perch Pond!!!! Need advise

SPC,

TJ has tons of experience in this area so I would strongly recommend implementing his advice.

I will throw in my limited experience as perhaps additional food for thought. I would consider no longer stocking the shiners and FHM (or reducing quantity) as their fusiform shape makes them more desirable to your predators than the BG and will be targeted first. IMO you need your predators focused on the small BG. If you don't want to introduce a new species such as SMB, is stocking more WE an option?
