You would think with the large YP aquaculture industry in Indiana, it would not be so hard to find live YP for stocking! If I ever get a good population going, I need to team up with someone who sells fish.

Just a thought, you could always try one of the fish farms that ship them if you don't have a place within driving distance of yer place.

Please suggest a supplier. My Googling is not going well.

I have been able to get my fish within a couple hours drive so I can't vouch for these guys as I have never ordered fish from them. They have YP and they say they ship. I am considering trying them for papershell crawfish this summer. http://www.smithcreekfishfarm.com/live-pond-fish.cfmI am sure there are other suppliers, maybe somebody like Rainman or Bill C can suggest a source for Indiana.

RAH I'll send you a PM who I got them from last year. He's up your way. He brought mine to southern Indiana.

Thank you both. Southern Indiana is a long way off, but if they ship like Smith Creek, then I think a shorter distance would be safer.

RAH, my YP came from Martinsville. Not sure if they have any available now, but might not hurt to call?
"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.

American Pond & Lake Mgmt in Russiaville plans so have his own fingerlings this fall. Russiaville is a little SW of Kokomo. You could call him and ask if he is scheduled to have some YP available this spring. A demand for them may encourage him to get some in soon. 765-883-5718.

I may have lead and will get back to you all if this works out. It is likely the place that sprkplug got his.

RAH,
FWIW IMHO If Rex is coming within a couple hours of your place, I would sure see what he can do for ya. He knows your problem is mostly/all female YP in your pond. I don't want to make promises on his behalf but, I bet ya he could take a good run at getting you mostly male stockers.

RAH, Make sure you offer him a bone in ribeye as part of the purchase price!

After reading about RAH's experience with possibly having stocked mostly single sex YP, I wonder whether I may have inadvertently done the same thing. I stocked a single stocking of 5 to 7 inch fish. I have seen no sign of egg strands this spring. Is it possible I have stocked mostly single sex as well? Should you stock a couple different sizes when stocking YP to insure a good mix of male and female?

I added 100 1-2" YP today. I am hoping some males survive being eaten by the 25 adult females cruising the pond! Hopefully the FHMs are more appetizing. Still hoping to get 25 3-4" YP when Rainman makes his Indiana run.
