Need proper habitat if you want some to survive.
Anybody have a good suggestion for the optimal stone type/size and depth for the best habitat?
I want to do a SMB pond with crayfish as additional forage. There are zero stones at my pond locations.
I was going to put down some ground fabric and cover it with a thin layer of sand. I would like to then cover that with "crayfish" stone from 1' about the 'normal pool' water level to about the deepest useful depth for crayfish. (This pond has an outside water supply and should have a relatively stable water level.)
I do have several aggregate/stone suppliers in reach with a wide array of product. I have no idea which product would be best. (I have always seen the most crayfish when overturning "platy" types of flat stones. However, my personal data sampling is too sparse to be useful.)
