Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Can flathead cats control crappie?

I don't see why you couldn't approach it from this angle. I would just say that GSH and TP are able to convert primary algae production DIRECTLY which is particularly why I recommended them. In other words, they will certainly produce more forage than YP because they won't depend entirely on secondary trophic organisms for food. The YP in the sense that they will feed on similar food of the crappie will compete to some degree with them. Even so, I consider crappie the stronger species and I think FH will predominately prey on the YP. Having YP instead of the other choices may mean that you need to be more sparing on the FH biomass. This said, with the right balance it could perform very well I think. With regard to TP as a tertiary harvested fish, particularly mossambica is most catchable and they could be also be harvested by rod and reel.
