Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Do Turtles Control Pond Weed?

Tbar: regarding the TGC. stock 7-14 per acre of vegetation. Make sure that they are bigger than a LMB can eat. I typically stock 12"-14" fish, nothing smaller. After about 8 years they really slow down in how many weeds they eat, so I tell customers to bow fish or snag (or somehow) catch them out of the pond and re-stock. Or take them out when E-shocking the pond. I removed two from a customers pond last year. One was about 50 pounds the other was 37-39 pounds.
