If the water still pretty murky when you add the minnows & fingerling BG it would be best to crush up some fish fish food and add about 2 Tablespoons per day along with a couple tablespoons of whole pellets. Do not buy a whole bag of fish food just for this. Ask to buy 1/2 to 1 gallon of fish pellets from wherever you get the fish. then next year when pond is full buy a whole bag of fish food and use the fresh food to feed the new fish that are stocked.
