Thanks for the input George. I don't know that I have a lot of other options. Todd Overton is about 4-5 hours away. Not sure his fish would be much better after a 5 hour drive.

I really would be surprised if this pond lasts 10 years without going dry again. So...whatever I mess up now and learn from, I will be able to use that experience when I restock later on. Due to our drought, I do have almost 3000 gallons of collected rain water (and the means to collect more) I could use to keep it going if all goes well.

I was reading a "what's this fish" thread in here where a guy had got some other minnows mixed in with his BHM...that were then reproducing in his pond. But....as long as they eat mosquito larvae, I can live with that.
