Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose On Mutt Pond

Well I have always been a subscriber to the thought that FHM will eventually disappear after the initial stocking and predators grow. Now I am thinking well "it depends!" My FHM population had dwindled down to almost nothing in July "as expected." Then I threw 400 sq ft of broken concrete slab into my little puddle. I now see thousands of FHM again. I am thinking adding the perfect spawning habitat along with the perfect protection for new spawn it provides made a huge difference.

I would appreciate hearing your folks thoughts on the dramatic FHM comeback I am seeing.

I suspect the pond dynamics will change once again when I stock crawfish that will want to share the same habitat.
