saint_abyssal, could you post some stocking numbers that would ensure a reproducing population in the pond providing that there was suitable reproductive habitat for said species?
i.e. In a 1 acre pond the stocking amount for "X" species would be between x and y fish.
Unless the fish were sold by weight of course, like Fathead Minnows and Golden Shiners.
It would be a shame for people to think that stocking (for instance) 20 fish in a 1/4 acre pond would be enough to establish a self sustaining reproducing population when in reality it would take 1,000 fish.
I will if I ever encounter that kind of information. These fish aren't commonly kept forage species so I'm not sure anyone even knows unless they've been experimenting themselves.
I think
H formosa is okay
H. nigricans is probably not
J floridae is probably good
Ls megalotic and miniatus are probably okay
L. goodei is probably good
L cornutus has been moved to probably not. Apparently lives in lakes but I havent found any references to pond-like environments.
