Lots of great info on raising and growing fish to feeder size. I have a small pond around 20x20 where I can raise them up to feeding size. The way I see it, being in Ohio, I would probably only get 2 breeding’s if the temperature was not controlled. By controlling the temperature on a tank, I could start early and end later in the season. Once the eggs hatch, I could separate the fry from the pairs, grow them out while the breeders regenerate. Or replace the pairs with new ones to speed up the process. I am looking for options to supplement what Mother Nature can not provide. From what I have read, one of the most important parts to growing bigger fish is to make sure that predators don’t miss a meal.
So in essence, I am wondering if BG will breed in say a watering trough if it was made to resemble something natural.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
