Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Forage fish: sunfish vs redear sunfish?

That's what I suspect--i'll look around.

I do have a lot of snails--they are good bait for bluegill/perch.

Do I really need to get rid of them? Or are red-ear sunfish and pumpkinseed used to control how many of them are in the pond? I don't see the parasites in the meat of any of my fish--very clean.
