IT would be great to have more forum goers to get experience with lake chubsuckers. White suckers don't seem to reproduce in ponds but lake chubsuckers will. THey like clearer water (rather than turbid) and their eggs stick to vegetation so in my pond that creates a problem.

But if they like the conditions in your pond they produce copious offspring that are easy to spot. THe young are in schools with very dark black stripes down their side. IT may be hard to establish in a pond that already has predators in it, but if you could raise them in a forage pond or in a tank that had plenty of clean oxygenated water and you could release larger quantities at once you might be pleasantly surprised.

It would help a lot if more fish farms offered it as a forage species. I do not believe they would pellet train so that may be why fish farms don't raise and sell them.
