Ive got 100 blue gill hybreds in a 3000 gal filtered pond. Ive already
eat some of the runts. They are great.I stocked in March and the fish
range from 2 to 6 ozs.Im eating the smallest 75% as they vary in
growth. Im restocking next spring with 500 and culling them. Over the
next couple years I want to collect about 250 heavy growers. They say
one will grow 3/4 pound in a year. Ive looked on all the water
additives Ive used and not used any that say not to use on food fish.
I hope they tell the truth

eat in a 400 gallon Zone 9 pond? Not that I'm serious about it, just
curious...

If your into bream, look into some Georgia Hybred or Florida Copper
nose, or some shell crackers........I have those and in no time they
reach an awesome size........I routinely catch bream the size of my
two hands.
Get you net and cane pole and grab you some as I want them all gone!
