He also does SMB, RES, and BG.

That is a long way to travel for a small order. However, many of the suppliers are quite creative in making multiple deliveries on a single long run.

I would definitely contact Kenny if you are still interested in a small order of YP and SMB. It might work out to be cost effective if he can add you to another delivery in that region next spring.

Good luck on developing your pond!
I just shot them an email. Thank you all for your input and help regarding YP. Will see what happens!

Building my spawning bed this week in what should be 2-4 feet of water when full in the shallow corner of the pond. Water will never be super clear since it's clay bottom, so I'm thinking they'll spawn a little shallow. Going to use cinder blocks as the retaining ring, line the bottom, and use pea gravel for substrate. It will be located about 10 feet from a brush pile that sits in a little deeper water.
