If you do want to get Golden Shiners established this year, give Anderson Fish Farms a call and get on the list for their Golden Shiner Frye shipments. They overnight ship units of 250,000 GS Frye.
Throw a few clumps of Christmas trees in your pond, and they will take hold, even with other existing fish populations.
Getting recruitment of your desired fish species down the line may be adversely impacted though.
