[QUOTE="dun, post: 506918, member: 34"] The kind and number depends on what you want to do with them. If you don;t mind feeding them and have a way to remove a lot of them as they get bigger, channel cats work well. Bluegill without an alfa predator in the ponds will over populate and get stunted. White crappie reporduce too well and grow fast enough that they generally out grow the predator fish and will end up stunted. We usually stock a couple of dozen channel cats a half dozen bass and 50 or so bluegill. Our ponds are all 1/2 acre or less. For a bigger pond just add multiples. Those are the numbers that work for us, but depth, clarity and feed resources within the pond all have affects. Conservation has some good publications on fish in ponds. Last week we added black crappie to a couple of ponds, kind of an intermediate predator. [/QUOTE]
