Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Benefits of Wild Shiners

Because you subscribed to the PBoss magazine, keep a watch for a planned article about Spotfin shiners. It might take a year or two to get enough time to prepare and complete the entire article. The information will be basically the same for Satinfin shiners. Both are very similar in characteristics and behavior. Satinfins and spotfins just live in different parts of the US. The article may briefly discuss the similiarities.

What I really want to do is find some Steelcolor shiners and get them growing in one of my ponds dedicated to growing minnows. Another good small fish that could be good for a forage specie that tolerates poor water quality is the mud minnow (Umbra limi - max size 5.2").
