I was just thinking that if I just keep adding the fatheads the fish will just eat them and they will never get established sience I didn't add them first and let them establish am I out of line with my thoughts with the fence in the water to keep other fish away from them? If it's not a bad idea, how big of a area should I fence off? How many fatheads should I add? The blue gill spawned last year and there was thousands of fry, they seemed to like staying as close to the shore line as possible and very skiddish ;\) I don't know if this will help at all but, there isen't alot of plantlife in the pond, some but pretty clear and it's also spring fed, water always going in and going out of the spillway.
