Is there a definitive list of forage species that are okay to stock into a pond before predators? I know some species will get out of control fast. I'm still in the research stages.
I figured that:
Fathead Minnows
Bluntnose Minnows
Banded Killifish
Eastern Mudminnows
Spotfin Shiners
Spottail Shiners
Red Shiners
Satinfin Shiners
Lake Chubsuckers
Mississippi Grass Shrimp
...would all be okay to add and let them go for a year unchecked.
I wondered about Threadfin Shad and Golden Shiners? I think that the shad population could get out of control quickly and I don't know why I am down on adding Golden Shiners ahead of predators, but I might have read something on it?
