"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.
Welcome ChevyDog66. Nuther hoosier here, but southern. Tell us about your fish and your pond, show pics. Ask questions.
I had to come check this thread as it said Newbie in N Ind.. and the last poster was Cody. I wondered if he'd moved across the line from OH! We'd welcome you Bill.

Welcome neighbor. I'm only about 40 miles from ya up here in Butler. You are welcome up here anytime. Mr D, if ya ever get to Bills place you'de see that he has things set up perfectly and he is a damned Buckey by birth so he ain't goin anywhere. Too bad tho. If he'd move over here I'd give him 3 of my 5 acres. I can't even get him to stop over but him and the corn king have visited me in Fl the last two yrs so I guess I shouldn't whine. Maybe he will consider a visit if/when Fatih and LL visit me.
Do nature a favor, spay/neuter your pets and any weird friends or relatives.
Hey man, you need to look up some of Cecil 1 posts from several yrs ago. You will be amazed at what can be accomplished in very small ponds. I have a pond about twice your size and with Bill Codys and Cecils (and many other folks on here)guidance I carry a pretty heavy volume of HSB, SMB, WE, YP, minnows, shiners, Softshell crawdads and as of today 13 Tilapia and 1 Jack Dempsy. Oh yes some hitchhiked CC. Don't be shy about askin ?s and keep us posted of what ya do and how things develop. Also what are your goals. Simple goals make for easier mgnt but thinkin outside the box is encouraged.

I can imagine how thrilled you are with your new pond and beautiful house next to it. I am from East Central Indiana and there are lots of Hoosiers on this board. I also was excited to find Pond Boss back in 2002 and am still hanging around. The information on it is that good.
You can have several big fish in a small pond however they may have to species of single sex or fish that will not reproduce to cause overpopulation problems. Lots of options are possible if you know the best ways to do it.
