Spotfin and Spottail shiners will spawn in ponds and Cody recommends them for cool water species fisheries in addition to Lake chubsuckers. I may start raising one of these species in a grow out pond - all species fit my forage base needs better than Golden shiners as they max out around 4-6" so an adult YP can handle max size. The only place I’ve found these for sale are the aquarium websites and they are $4 per fish. Need at least 20 to start I guess. I don't believe Emerald shiners can reproduce in pond settings, but Cody would have to verify.
