Do not add too many, I was sold way too many when I stocked my pond, and before I found this site. I have been trying to pull them out ever since and a couple of weeks ago had my line break (will probably never get that one out). I know I would probably save more money and heartache in the long run if I would just kill off the pond and start over, but what is done is done so I will make the best of it.
Just want to make sure you do not over stock yours.
And to let you know I was told you could stock 400 per acre.
I guess if I was feeding, aerating, and raising them to sell this would not be a bad idea, but for a pond that I just wanted some nice fishing and try to grow some larger pan fish this was not a good recommendation.
I am sure after this hot summer and drought conditions I could be starting over anyway due to a large fish kill that may take place anytime.
We will just have to see how fishing pans out this fall as the water temps cool down and the fish come back to the feeder.
