That's pretty inexpensive, so low risk financially. The best chance of stocking might be at your ponds coolest temp. period of the year if your pond doesn't freeze over or get close to freezing. Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
