Working on my 4th pond and starting to think about stocking. I know RES like snails and clams and those will go in, but what is known on the forage potential of mosquito fish for RES? Thinking of trying to see if I can raise some big ones as apex predators. Also looking for other ideas for a different fish mix. I have a BG/LMB pond, a YP/SMB pond, and my 3rd pond will hopefully be a black-crappie/blue-catfish pond. Have RES in the first 2 ponds as well, but not really big ones that anyone has caught (nice size, but nothing special). If I could source pumkinseed and chain pickerel i Indiana, then I would do that in the 4th pond. Just looking at ideas. Want species that will spawn in pond.
