Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Creating the food chain Golden Shiners - What size to stock?

GSH can work well and be established. Best to start them just after the FH are going good. Be sure to have a good plankton base and the right spawning material (matts are good ). The 250000 fry method also works. Then add BG or other sunfish. Best advice if using LMB is to be sure forage base is about 4 times what is suggested.
