Here is what I found out today. I called Arms Bait co. & fish farm as they are on the way to my pond. They have 7 inch hsb and 1-4 inch redear. After asking further he said 7 inch hsb and 1-4 inch redear, he went on a speach about how hard it is to raise redear, but never elaborated on size. I may have to get redear from Overtons but they are way out of the way(several hundred miles out of the way
). I only want redear to prevent parasite problems unlesss I need them for some other reason. Would adding 75 redear of this size and 50 hsb at 7 inches be reasonale. I plan to take 100-150 cc out this spring. Am I being realistic? I have started out wrong and don't want to make it worse. I have a feeling in a few yrs I may have to posion and start over. I would like to at least get some cc out of it first.
