The golden shiners and redears appear to co-habitate well in a forage pond.
Same experience here Bill. My RES fingerlings and GSH thrive in my 1/20th acre
Forage Pond I have moved lots of RES fingerlings and GSH over to my main pond from the forage pond. I need to seine it like Shorty did but I just keep after it with a cast net about three nights a week.
