JPSDAD,
If your pond has any shoreline vegetation at all, you won't need to have a holding tank past maybe getting them to a good stocking level. Seriously, they are very prolific. They can take a lot of pressure and will readily take pellets if you provide a little right at the shoreline. I've never done anything special with mine and I've got thousands of them.
