Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose New 22 acre lake

Tracy, if you got them from Todd, you probably do have some of the red tailed ones. No reason other than they're pretty, and I need something to focus on. If I was still a thinker bee, which I'm not anymore, I would say that a color change is the easiest way to evaluate how dominant a new strain becomes, and how quickly that happens. It took around 4-5 years for Todd's CNBG to become the dominant strain in my big pond(12 acres).

This is one of my original stockings from Tyler Fish Farm. IIRC, Bob's original stock came directly from Florida, and were brutes. I rarely catch one this dark anymore.


This is one of Todd's CNBG, and it sure ain't bad to look at, and they're brutes as well.
