Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Help with stocking 1/2 acre pond

Are all of the fish pellet trained? I agree, the CC are more of a warmwater fish and won't do well in the pond.

Aeration, you'll want to keep the pond open with the bottom diffuser. That will need to be placed at 1/3 the total pond depth for the winter, and close to shore so anything that goes into the open water can get out without having to climb up on the ice.
