Has anyone ever heard of/used Susquehanna Aquacultures as a source for HSB? Also found another one, Keystone Aquacultures, looks like it could be a good source for stocking HBG/CC/HSB. How far in advance of my first stocking should I be sourcing my fish? A year for the HSB? Are they that tough to come by?

I am still a little confused as to why the CC/HSB would not spawn in my pond. If things were set up correctly could this be made possible? Maybe the better question is, do I want them spawning in my .6 acre pond?

CJ- You had mentioned earlier that I don't want structure in a pond my size? I thought structure was used for cover from predators, but you're saying it will be more of a "hot spot" for the HSB/CC to hang out and feed on the young fish? Maybe I need some clarification?

Pond has about 10-16" of water covering 3/4 of the bottom so far. Got a long way to go but "baby steps" right.

Again, thank you in advance.
