Eric, I would be concerned about stocking at this time. It looks pretty muddy from the picture. No way to get a plankton bloom without sunlight penetration. More rain will make it worse. You will have to feed. I think you need to exercise patience.
However, gotta admit; if I had a new water hole, there is no way I could resist putting in some fish. But then, I am lacking in both patience and character. The worst that will happen is that they will not do well and possibly die.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
