Just did the pond last year. its about 3/4 acre. Its 4ft in shallow end and goes down to 18-20 in deep end. Its still murky, and runoff fed. I originally just had some perch put in and about 2000 FHM. A friend of mine caught and put in about 25 what he called Calico bass. I am learning now they are called "crappies" what do I do, they were put in within the last 3 months. The only thing in their are the 25 Crappies and about 15 caught perch. I do not want to end up with a pond full of stunted 5-6 inch crappies. My father in law screwed up the order with his BG and LMB. He now has a million BG and very small bass. I am trying to avoid this!
