Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Evaluating New Pond and New Fish

Fantastic Idea! I'll see if i can grab a couple of these guys from the pond vs net, trap or catch and use food coloring as the "dye" to try to sex them. From the multiple sexing vids I've seen the horizontal slit with dye is the best method. The lips version I haven't seen in many of the vids.

The fella I used this year is out of Hutchinson, KS and it sounds like they have a continual recruitment process with indoor housing/tanks. I did ask the question on Blue and species of TP they carry and it sounds like these are mutts with various species combined. How the recruitment stacks up against a Blue or Moz pure I don't know as this is the first time I've used TP but from the vids we have more TP than the LMB are going to be able to consume this year as some of them will definitely be out of reach on size.

Very good idea BC. I hadn't thought about trying to do this this year.
