In my walks around the pond I have seen what I am guessing are bluegills; ranging anywhere from 2-4" long. I have an aeration system; but didn't run it in winter and am running 24/7 now. I am guessing there are anywhere from 50-100 of the little guys in the pond yet never could see in the winter with my underwater camera.

I have fathead minnows on order and am hoping they arrive soon; but unsure with the Coronavirus situation on when they will truly arrive.

My plan for this year is put in fathead minnows and that is it.

I have seen vegetation growing in the pond; unsure on what type as that I am not well educated on different types of vegetations.

Would I be better off getting YP from my neighbor's pond or through hatchery? He has HBG, YP, LMB in his pond. I don't want HBG so somewhat hesitant to say yes to him transplanting fish from his pond to him as I think he would transfer HBG as well.
