I agree that culling is sometimes needed. But have never had the need in my larger pond.

I do sometimes need to in my small pond. However, since stocking some cats, they seem to be handling the job pretty well.

BTW, that happy medium is reportedly good for about 15 minutes.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
