This thread is for those wishing to follow my experiment in raising Cyprinella lutrensis, aka Red shiner, for an alternative forage base in a static pond situation.
I've started with about 300 fish of 1.75-2.5" with a dozen in my 60 gal aquarium for observation through the winter and the rest in my 2800sq ft forage pond, newly built late fall.
I also have Spotfin shiner and Bluntnose minnow, both in my aquarium and small numbers in my forage pond.
CD Disc structures are being built for the pond for crevice type spawning substrate for the SFS, and typical pallet structures are planned for use with some rock piles for BNM.
Information and reports to follow.
