Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Pumpkinseed sunfish

You are learning that some of the fish promoted as beneficial here on the form are very hard to find such as pumpkinseed sunfish, lake chubsuckers, bluntnose minnows, spotfin shiners, etc.. When some of these uncommon fish are raised it is by the rare fish farm far away or the fish are quite expensive and for the aquarium market. There are still opportunities for niche fish farm market but are they profitable? I learned many years ago the best way to get a start of some of these rare fish is to go out and collect them yourself. However this is not all that easy for most pond owners.
