Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat How Long Until I Add Fish

It was the WAY he asked it.

Seriously, I am not particularly familiar with fish's posts and cannot comment on his rating. With respect to myself, I seriuosly doubt my own rating is due to any great expertise in pond management or fishing, because that's not what I'm best at. There are some non-central topics discussed here, like farm implements or manure, which I may know more about than the average forum user. With respect to the central pond/fish subjects, I know some basics which I try to share with newbies who may know even less than I do, primarily to try and free up the time of the pros and might-as-well-be-pro amateurs to handle questions that I haven't a clue with. I will be learning from guys like Bill Cody, Cecil Baird, Bruce Condello, Greg Grimes, and Grandmaster Bob Lusk (the rest of you valuable contributors, please do not feel offended that I couldn't take the time to mention you all) for years if they never make another post and I just go over what they have already said that is archived here.

I AM aware of a few of the many mistakes I have made so far, and am willing to share these experiences (hell, some of them were funny). I reserve the right to display my remaining ignorance by asking questions some may consider naive or stupid. And sometimes I would rather ask a great group of people something I can't remember rather than try to re-research it.

As for when to put in the fish, I understand FH can go in when there's 5 or 6 feet of water. I don't know if there would be sufficient food for 75-100 large bream by then - might depend on how long it took to fill (longer = more invertabrates).
