If it's Alma, MI, then stock some Pumpkinseed Sunfish in there and some Fathead minnows. If you are below the Indiana/Michigan line, stock Redear Sunfish and Fatheads.

Yes on the aeration system, but it needs to be properly sized to fit your pond size and water depth.

The channel may or may not stay there depending on the dirt in the bottom of the pond will hold it's shape. I've had a customer dig a channel through his pond and 2 years later the channel wasn't there any more, it all fell in and blended together with the pond bottom contour.
