Are you going to supplement the CC diet with feed pellets?
Absolutely
Then you might be able to get by with a CC only pond.
I have read threads on Pond Boss that say it is possible to severely limit CC reproduction by eliminating all of their brooding habitat. Other experts on those same threads have said they have seen the CC reproduce significantly - despite all attempts to stop them!
I don't know the correct answer. However, you could try the simple experiment of a CC only pond first and see if that gets you tasty eating fish without a huge hassle!
Good luck on your project!
