Sorry, I was unable to take ictheology this semester. But I will as soon as I can fit it in my schedual. I'm sorry I even asked this question. Every other thread, every one I have read, has been informational and mostly constructive. I feel that this thread has digresed away from the idea of more forage for bass and into making sure everyone here knows who is right. I now understand that the only thing to do with a pond under 50 acres is put in bass and bluegills and catfish with forked tails.
I wrote out an entire paragraph trying to explain why I think gold fish are dangerous to put in a pond and why I don't think it's legal too, such as you need a permit to stock and transport fish and goldfish are an exotic species.
Also I noticed that you are all defending this idea with gusto yet no one has said they tried it.
The point is we are bickering, thats not what this place is for, its for the co-operative exchange of information about ponds. We can all learn from each other, I have learned alot from the pond masters here, more than on any other website. So why are we argueing the diffrence between koi and goldfish? espescialy when we are all fishermen and women?
