Thanks for the info. Some follow ups:
1. Turns out the fish farm has only 3-5" RES, so would you cut back on the 500/250 mix if using 1-3" CNBG ? RES may act as predator ?
2. If I feed Purina Gamechow (I can get locally for $17.50/50lb bag) to the 1-3" CNBG, should I expect them to spawn before next spring ?
3. Since it was recommended to cut back to 500 CNBG instead of 750, would you still go with 20 lbs FHM ?
4. Lastly, they were recommending 75 1-3" F1 LMB, is this too many for 3/4 acre and 500 CNBG, even if I feed ?
I also PERSONALLY like the idea of waiting on LMB, even if only to see if other fish survive my mistakes !!!
I have been reading stuff on here for over a year as we built home and pond. Most all of the ideas about design and cover were taken from here.
